ACRELive! The Law of Payment Rails
For decades, large real estate closings have revolved around wire transfers. But recent developments have opened other possible “payment rails” that may soon impact your closings: For example, the Federal Reserve just launched its “FedNow” real-time payments system, and the use of cryptocurrencies is still developing. In some cases the legal regimes underlying these payment rails are well-known, but in others considerable questions remain. Join us as this panel compares and contrasts the law underlying payment rails, both old and new!
