The Accelerate 2026: Immediate Payments Forum will now take place virtually on August 18–19, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET each day—giving you and your team a more flexible, convenient way to join the conversation without the time and expense of travel. 

Did we mention there’s no cost to attend? 

That means more people from your credit union can participate, more easily align around your payments strategy, and gain practical insights together—all from wherever you work best. 

And while the format has changed, the value has not. Accelerate is not a high-level, theory-heavy conference. It’s a focused forum built to help credit unions move forward with immediate payments through expert-led sessions, peer perspectives, and real-world takeaways you can put into action right away. 

Same powerful content. More flexibility. Greater access for your team. 

What You’ll Learn: 

• Real-world use cases and peer insights on how credit unions are leveraging RTP, send, and receive capabilities to support members and improve operations.
• Strategies for implementing send functionality, including readiness planning, business case development, and managing operational and member experience impacts.
• Key trends and updates across the RTP^® network and FedNow^® Service, including recent enhancements, adoption milestones, and what’s ahead for immediate payments. 
• Best practices for managing risk, fraud, and compliance within real-time payment environments, along with practical system training and operational guidance.

Who Should Attend 

Accelerate brings together the leaders and teams shaping the future of payments—from operations, product, and technology to executive leadership. Whether you're live on RTP or FedNow or just beginning to explore immediate payments, you’ll leave with practical insights to move forward with confidence. 

Join us virtually in August—and gain the clarity, tools, and strategy to take your immediate payments program to the next level.
