Depository Institution Testing (DIT2) Testing
We have built a second dedicated Depository Institution Testing environment—the DIT2 environment—to be used for ISO 20022 message format testing. All ISO 20022 messages (including those that are mandatory) are available in the DIT2 environment.

- Business Application Header (head.001)
- Customer Credit Transfer (pacs.008)
- Financial Institution Credit Transfer (pacs.009)
- Payment Return (pacs.004)
- Positive/Negative Acknowledgement for Value messages (pacs.002)
- Positive Acknowledgement for Nonvalue messages (admi.007)
- Return Request (camt.056)
- Return Request Response (camt.029)
- Drawdown Request (pain.013)
- Drawdown Request Response (pain.014)

- Retrieval Request (admi.006)
- Account Reporting Request (camt.060)
- Account Balance Report – Master/Self (camt.052)
- Activity Report (camt.052)
- Endpoint Totals Report (camt.052)
- Endpoint Gap Report (camt.052)
- Endpoint Details Report (camt.052)
- Investigation Request (camt.110)
- Investigation Response (camt.111)
It is imperative that customers and service/software providers verify the integrity of their messages during testing and be able to reconcile their Fedwire Funds Service activity the same way they would during a normal processing cycle.
FedLine Direct connection owners and FedLine Advantage customers can also opt-in for peer testing in the DIT2 environment.
Please submit a DIT2 Test Request Form when you need assistance with testing in the DIT2 environment (e.g., if you need test messages to be sent to you, when you are ready to perform your certification testing). View available DIT2 testing dates.
Customers who have certified in the DIT2 environment will be prioritized by the Support Center when providing assistance after the Fedwire Funds Service’s cutover to the ISO 20022 message format.
Note: The existing DIT environment will continue to be used for the legacy Fedwire Application Interface Manual (FAIM) version 3.0.7 message format testing.

DIT2 Testing: Manual Entry Attestation
The Fedwire Funds Service customers noted in the table below are required or strongly recommended to test their ability to manually enter transactions into the FedPayments Manager – Funds application in the DIT2 environment. Customers will notice a "Complete Attestation" button when they log into the DIT2 environment.
- We need you to attest that you have trained your staff to send and receive wires using the new ISO 20022 screens.
- Only after you have successfully sent outgoing messages should you click on the "Complete Attestation" button in the DIT2 test environment.
- Individuals with a Funds Supervisor or Funds Manager role will be able to complete the attestation on behalf of your institution.
