The results of new research by the Federal Reserve show that electronic payments are much more important to the nation's economy than previously thought.

The Fed's study on retail payments shows that electronic payments have increased to 40% of all non-cash payments, a far higher percentage than existing industry estimates.

"Automated clearing house, credit card and debit card payments are all experiencing double-digit growth every year," said Elliott C. McEntee, president and CEO of National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). "We are encouraged that initiatives to reduce check use, such as e-checks and electronic bill payment, are succeeding."

The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) and E-Gov have launched a one-day workshop that will focus on the ramification of new homeland security measures.

The events, entitled "Homeland Defense and Crisis Management: A Workshop for Frontline Professionals," will be held at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C., on December 18. This one-day workshop will focus on the significant factors facing government officials challenged with ensuring national homeland defense. From defending our borders to preserving the integrity of our public health and welfare, workshop attendees will weigh the issues and their input will be included in a post-conference Executive Summary Report of recommendations for those who are managing these national challenges.
