Federal Reserve Financial Services, Connie Theien, Vice President of Payments Industry Relations - Improvements to the U.S. Payments System
Payments
systems around the world are evolving at a rapid pace due to innovations in

need for a ubiquitous, faster payments capability, enhancements to payments
system security, improvements to international payments clearing and greater
efficiency in business and consumer payments. Join Connie Theien to discuss the
Fed’s strategies for addressing these needs and next steps for working together
to create the U.S. payments system of the future.
