The Federal Reserve Banks recognize that widely available and reliable testing is an essential component of Fedwire Services. To meet this need, we operate the Depository Institution Testing (DIT) environment on a daily basis Monday through Saturday. In addition, on selected Saturdays, the production environment is available for customer testing.
The FedLine Direct® Message Environment and Configuration Change Matrix identifies the appropriate steps, lead times, and schedules to test changes you wish to make to your FedLine Direct environment.
The following types of test are available:
| Test Date | Sign Up No Later Than |
|---|---|
| March 23 | March 7 |
| June 1 | May 15 |
| September 14 | August 28 |
| October 19 | October 2 |
To participate in the Fedwire Contingency Test, you must complete the two-step process as outlined below.
Step 1: Validate your organization's eligibility by entering your ABA number below. If your organization is eligible to participate, a link will be provided to the registration forms.
Step 2: Complete one registration form for each date that you plan to test.
We encourage participating organizations to provide feedback on their testing experience at the conclusion of these tests. The survey will help the Federal Reserve Banks to ensure that we continue to provide the highest level of support during these tests.
