(Reuters) – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday said it is investigating a disruption to multiple services, listing Fedwire and FedACH among more than a dozen areas affected.
“We will provide updates as soon as they are available,” it said in an update at 1:18 p.m (1818 GMT).
The affected services form the hidden backbone to the U.S. banking system, allowing billions of dollars of payments to flow daily through the financial system.
The Fed first reported potential problems with the service at 12:43 p.m.
