    That’s essentially what FedNow wants to be, except the goal is to replace the debit card network.

    Trying to start a new debit card network is a chicken-and-egg problem.

      Not when you’re a government.

      Mandate that payment processors have to support the state debit network and you’ll be on half the terminals in the country in three months.
