> FedNow will eventually replace the ACH system

Now that's interesting - does that imply that the clearing delays in transfer (say your US Bank to your Brokerage, ~3 days ACH) will disappear and FedNow makes that an "instant" (within 1 day let's say) settled transfer? Very intriguing.

Yep - the goal is to move to ~real time transactions so settlement is instantaneous for most transactions with a much shorter window for settlement for those txs over some threshold (initial working docs said $25k, but it'll likely be larger by the time it rolls out).
