Abstract: The Payments Research Survey collects information, as needed, on specific and time sensitive issues, which may affect the Federal Reserve’s decision making. Respondents may comprise depository institutions, financial and nonfinancial businesses and related entities, individual consumers, or households. This survey may be mandatory for a certain subset of entities and voluntary for all other respondents. The Board uses this event-driven survey to obtain information specifically tailored to the Federal Reserve System’s supervisory, regulatory, fiscal, and operational responsibilities. The Board may conduct various versions of the survey, as needed, and may survey respondents up to four times per year. The frequency and content of the questions depends on changing economic, regulatory, supervisory, or legislative developments.
