Retail Payments Survey Supplement 2017 and 2018

FR 3066d
OMB No. 7100-0351
Retail Payments Survey Supplement (FR 3066d)
The Federal Reserve may conduct the ad-hoc Retail Payments Survey Supplement up to
one time per year to collect information on specific issues that affect its decision making. The
survey topics discussed with the respondents are often time sensitive and the questions of interest
may vary with the focus of the survey. Because the relevant questions change with each survey,
there is no fixed reporting form. For each survey, the Federal Reserve prepares questions of
specific topical interest and then determines the relevant target group to contact. The principal
value of the FR 3066d is the flexibility it provides the Federal Reserve to respond quickly to the
need for data as new developments occur in the retail payment area. One area of interest pertains
to new methods of collecting and aggregating fraud data that help to identify important trends as
they emerge. Other topics covered by the FR 3066d may include payments security, speed,
efficiency, and other topics that help to explain payment trends and support the Federal
Reserve’s role in the payments system.
