FedLine CommandSM

As the Federal Reserve Banks retire the System Network Architecture (SNA) Computer Interface (CI) based access solution (PDF), customers are converting to the new unattended Internet Protocol (IP)-based access solutions, FedLine Direct® and FedLine Command. FedLine Command is a lower-cost option for FedACH® users interested in an unattended solution. Customers who use Account Services, Billing Services and Daylight Overdraft Reporting and Pricing System (DORPS) have the option of using either FedLine Direct or FedLine Command. This solution uses Tumbleweed SecureTransportTM file transfer software to access FedACH Services.

The SNA CI-based access solution will be decommissioned in two phases:

  • By December 31, 2008, the Federal Reserve Banks will end support for SNA CI-based access to critical payment services, including Fedwire® Funds, Fedwire Securities and FedACH Services.
  • By June 30, 2009, the Federal Reserve Banks will end support for SNA CI-based access to other services, including billing, accounting, and other information services.
