Juniper Payments Certified for FedNow

WICHITA, Kans.--Juniper Payments, a PSCU company, is reporting it has become among the first in the industry to complete testing and certification for the FedNow Service, the Federal Reserve’s new instant payment offering launching in July 2023.

To achieve certification, Juniper Payments said it completed a comprehensive testing curriculum, including fulfilling a checklist of requirements to confirm ability to transmit and process ISO 20022 messages.

“We are excited that early-adopters of all sizes across the country are making strides in their operational readiness for live transactions through the system,” said Ken Montgomery, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston first vice president and FedNow Service program executive. “Completing certification is a key milestone for participating organizations to validate their ability to deliver instant payment services.” 

‘Immensely Proud’

Added Jon Budd, CEO of Juniper Payments, “We are immensely proud to be certified as a pioneer on FedNow, which marks a significant leap forward in our mission to offer cutting-edge, seamless payment solutions. This certification affirms our continued pursuit of innovation and commitment to better serve financial institutions in the rapidly evolving digital payments landscape. We thank our dedicated team members at Juniper Payments and our colleagues at the Federal Reserve for their collaborative efforts throughout the certification process, and we look forward to helping our clients explore the new opportunities this platform will offer.”
