Data note This dataset is sourced directly from the Federal Reserve's official participant list (frbservices.org, updated 4/20/26) and contains all 1,705 live FedNow participants. The Fed's public list includes name, city, and state only — RTNs and send/receive capability codes are not published. All entries default to "Receive" as the Fed does not publicly designate capability; check directly with each institution for send capability status.

What this tool does

This lookup tool lets developers, payment product managers, and finance teams quickly check whether a financial institution participates in the FedNow instant payment network — and whether it can send payments, receive payments, or both. Knowing a bank's FedNow capability before building a payment flow prevents integration failures and rejected transactions.

Who it's for

Fintech developers integrating FedNow rails into their products, merchants evaluating A2A payment acceptance, treasury teams assessing counterparty connectivity, and payments product managers mapping network coverage.

FedNow capability types

Send & Receive — the institution can both initiate outbound FedNow credit transfers and accept inbound payments. This is full participation. Receive only — the institution can accept FedNow payments but has not yet enabled outbound send capability; this is the most common state for newer participants. Send only — rare configuration, typically used by non-bank payment processors.

Coverage context

As of April 20, 2026, FedNow has 1,705 participating institutions across all 50 states and DC — up from 900 at its one-year anniversary (July 2024) and 35 at launch (July 2023). The network now surpasses RTP's ~1,200 institutions in participant count. However, with ~9,000 total US depository institutions, FedNow coverage is roughly 19% of all banks and credit unions. The majority of participants are community banks and credit unions; most large national banks have not yet joined. Note: the Federal Reserve's public participant list does not include send/receive capability designations or routing numbers — contact institutions directly or consult their FedLine enrollment for capability status.

Data source

Participant data in this tool is the complete official list downloaded directly from the Federal Reserve (frbservices.org/financial-services/fednow/organizations), last updated 4/20/26. The Fed publishes name, city, and state only in their public XLSX — routing numbers are available under separate terms of use for financial institutions, and send/receive capability designations are not publicly disclosed.
