The Federal Reserve Payments Study: 2017 Annual Supplement


Abstract: Since 2001, the Federal Reserve System has conducted a triennial Federal Reserve Payments Study (FRPS) to estimate aggregate trends in noncash payments in the United States. After the completion of the most recent FRPS in 2016, which reported on trends from 2012 to 2015, a smaller and more targeted annual supplementary data collection was launched to keep information current between the triennial studies. This brief reviews some early results from the 2017 annual update, which contains new estimates of trends for selected core pay­ment instruments from 2015 to 2016. In addition to new estimates for 2016, many 2015 esti­mates are restated because of data revisions received during the 2017 FRPS data collection.
