FedACH® Services Testing Opportunities

The Federal Reserve Banks recognize that an essential component of FedACH Services includes widely available and reliable testing. Financial institutions may want to test FedACH operations due to a new sending or receiving point, a platform change or for contingency purposes. To meet this need, customers can schedule to send/receive a data test file. The Federal Reserve Bank will replace sensitive customer data in the test file with generic masking data. All transactions in the test file will contain the original customer account number and item dollar amount so successful testing can be executed.

All requests must be received by noon, five business days prior to the test date.

Types of Tests

  • Receipt of File
  • Sending of File
  • No Production Tests
