      Schmid: Leveraging Modern Payments Infrastructure in Community Banking
      Submitted May 14, 2026      |From kansascityfed.org

      Good morning. Thank you for joining us at this year's Future of Banking conference. I'm pleased to see so many community bank leaders gathered here today. Your presence reflects a shared commitment to understanding how our industry is evolving and how institutions can position themselves to thrive in the years ahead. When we talk about the "future of banking," it's tempting to think we're discussing something distant or theoretical. But the reality is that the future is already here. Many of the innovations that will define banking in the coming decade are already proven, operational, and creating opportunities for early adopters. My message today centers on how leveraging foundational infrastructure—particularly instant payments—can strengthen competitive positioning while maintaining the trust and relationships that have always been the hallmark of community banking. This isn't about abandoning, or even distracting from, what makes community banks special. It's about accessing technological innovation to further deliver on community banking’s promise and potential. I'll begin with my perspective on the economic environment, then discuss how technology is reshaping dynamics in banking, and finally examine how instant payments, and the Federal Reserve's FedNow Service in particular, provides infrastructure that community banks can leverage. My goal is to make clear that the path forward Fed's Schmid: The job market is functioning effectively. Fed's Schmid: Continued inflation is most pressing risk to economy, clear that it is still too high. Fed's Schmid: Conditions fundamentally sound in banking sector.

      Saudi Arabia floats a Middle Eastern non-aggression pact with Iran - FT. S. Arabia said to be eyeing regional pact with Iran Saudi Arabia is supposedly considering a non-aggression pact between the Middle Eastern states and Iran after the military conflict between the United States and Iran ends, the Financial Times reported on Thursday. The news outlet cited sources with knowledge of the matter, who shared that Riyadh is allegedly assessing a model of the Helsinki Process, which helped reduce tensions in Europe during the Cold War, in an effort to navigate disagreements in the Middle East since Iran is "weakened," but still "poses a threat to its neighbors." "It all depends on who is in it - in the current climate, you are not going to be able to get Iran and Israel ... Without Israel, it could be counterproductive because after Iran, they are seen as the biggest source of conflict. But Iran is not going anywhere, and this is why the Saudis are pushing it," the sources disclosed.
