Faster Payments Playbook for the US

NACHA and the Payments Innovation Alliance are workiing on a Faster Payments Playbook in the US for the industry.

The Team also determined that the next version of the resource could be broken into two separate components: one that describes the faster payments environment and one that addresses the specific attributes and opportunities of faster payments.
