https://www.afinalwarning.com/499945.html (Natural News) The nation’s financial system came to a halt the other day after the Federal Reserve’s payment platform suffered a more than three-hour outage. Used to execute more than $3 trillion in daily transactions, the system experienced an “operational error” that left banks and other financial institutions with no way to transact paychecks, tax refunds or bill payments. All Federal Reserve settlement services – the backbone of the U.S. banking and financial sector – were disrupted by the outage. These include Fedwire and FedACH. It is unclear how the outage affected consumer banking services.
