FedACH Services Forms
FedACH Services Participation Agreement
Before a financial institution begins to originate or receive FedACH items through the Federal Reserve Banks, a FedACH Participation Agreement must be completed and signed by an authorized individual at the institution. If a financial institution has updates to an existing agreement, only applicable portions should be completed and signed. The Agreement gives the Federal Reserve Banks authorization to direct items and settlement for FedACH participants.
