Check Services Test Request Form

Effective September 2026, the Federal Reserve Banks will provide a standardized test file to all organizations requesting testing. We will no longer support financial institution-specific test files. If you have any questions, contact the Support Center at (833) 377-7827.

Testing is available Tuesday through Friday. All requests must be received by noon EST five (5) business days prior to the requested date. Submit agreements prior to testing date to streamline the testing process.

* Required fields

The test file will contain a compilation of archived Check production payment items. We 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 so successful testing can be executed. Test item dollar amounts are defaulted to $1.00.
