FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK

" Circular No. 450. April 1,1922
Check Department

|_Superaeding Circular No. 258 as supplemented. _ |

Collection of Checks
To all Member Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District:

You will find in the following pages the current rules and regulations covering the
collection of checks by this bank. This circular is intended primarily to codify and clarify
all previous circulars issued by us on this subject, and, while not making any substantial
changes in the procedure heretofore established, it supersedes the provisions of all such
previous circulars.
The circular covers the mutual rights and duties of this bank and all banks which
send checks to us for collection and also the conditions to be observed by banks to which
we send checks for collection or remittance.
No member bank is required to use the check collection system, but may, without
charge and subject to the terms of this circular, send checks for collection through the
Federal Reserve Bank regularly, occasionally, or not at all; or may collect them through
present correspondents or in any other manner considered advantageous.
I. GENERAL CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH ITEMS ARE ACCEPTED
Every bank sending checks to us, or to another Federal Reserve Bank direct, for
our account, will be understood to have agreed to the terms and conditions of this circular
aud to have agreed that in receiving such items we will act only as the collecting agent
of the sending bank; that we will be responsible only for due diligence and care in forwarding or presenting such items promptly; that we are authorized to present or send
such items, for payment in cash or bank draft, direct to the bank on which they are drawn,
or, in our discretion, to forward them to another agent with authority to present or send
them, for payment in cash or bank draft, direct to the bank on which they are drawn;
and that we are authorized to charge back the amount of any items (whether or not the
items themselves can be returned) for which we have not actually received paycaeait
either in cash or in the proceeds of the bank draft.



COLLECTION OP CHECKS

II. ITEMS RECEIVED UNDER THIS CIRCULAR
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York receives at par from its member banks:
(a) Checks drawn on banking institutions (including private bankers) in the United
States which can be handled at par.
(b) Government warrants and checks. Member banks of this district, other than
members of the New York Clearing House Association, may include in their remittances
to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for immediate credit at par, but subject to
payment by the Treasurer of the United States, Government warrants and checks drawn
on the Treasurer of the United States. Members of the New York Clearing House
Association may send Government warrants and checks to the Federal Reserve Bank
through the Clearing House, subject to payment by the Treasurer of the United
States.
The Federal Reserve Bank will not receive under the terms of this circular the
following classes of items:
(a) Collection items as defined by our Circular No. 298, "Collection of Maturing
Notes, Bills and Other Collection Items." This includes any check or draft with pass
book, certificate or other similar form of receipt attached. Such items will be handled
as collection and not as cash items.
(b) Any check drawn on a bank located outside of this district which bears the
indorsement of a bank located outside of this district. (Checks and drafts which
fall within this class cannot be sent either to us or direct to other Federal Reserve Banks
for collection by member banks in this district.)
< .- (c) Checks or drafts on banking institutions which cannot be handled at par. Such items
will not be received, either as cash items under this circular or as collection items under
our Circular No. 298, "Collection of Maturing Notes, Bills and Other Collection Items."
(d) Protested checks or drafts when forwarded for collection for the second time.
Such protested checks or drafts will be handled only as collection items.
Direct Sending to Other Federal Reserve Banks of Items Drawn on Banking Institutions in Other Districts
If it is so desired any member bank in this district may, with the express approval of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, send direct to another Federal Reserve Bank or
Branch for collection any check payable at par and drawn upon a banking institution or
private banker located in the district of such other reserve bank or branch.
I t will be understood that items so sent are sent for our account and are subject to
the terms and conditions of this circular.
The sending bank must advise us of the total of items so sent direct to other reserve
banks or branches on the forms which we furnish.
Credit for such items will be given on our books as described below.
ffl.

CREDIT AND HANDLING OF CASH ITEMS BY FEDERAL RESERVE
BANK OF NEW YORK

Credit for Items Sent to Us
For all checks received by us under this circular credit at par upon receipt will be
given in the member bank's deferred account. Credit will be given in the member's
reserve account, and the proceeds of the items will become available when the ap


COLLECTION OF CHECKS

propriate time indicated on the current time schedule has elapsed. Our acknowledgment
of member bank's cash letters shows the date of receipt and the date upon which the
amounts will be transferred frcm the deferred to the reserve account.
Credit and availability are in all instances subject to our actual receipt of payment
as specified above in the general conditions under which items are received. In this
connection attention is invited to the fact that the periods of the time schedule are based
upon the average mail time required for items to reach the paying bank, plus the time
required for the paying bank to remit to the Federal Reserve Bank, and they do not
necessarily indicate the actual time required for collection. It must be borne in mind,
therefore, that advice of availability cannot and must not be considered advice of actual
payment.
For Government checks and warrants immediate credit at par will be given, but
such credit will be subject to payment by the Treasurer of the United States and to the
general conditions of this circular applicable to all items.
Credit for Items Sent by Member Banks Direct to Other Federal Reserve Banks
For items drawn on banking institutions in other districts, sent by our member banks
direct to other Federal Reserve Banks or their branches for collection under the terms of
this circular, credit at par will be given in the member bank's deferred account upon our
receipt of advice as to the total so sent to the other Federal Reserve Bank or branch. Credit
will be given in the member's reserve account, and the proceeds of the items will become
available when the appropriate time indicated on the current time schedule has elapsed,
but the periods of the time schedule shall apply from the date of the sending of such items
by the member bank rather than the date of the receipt of its advice to us.
Credit and availability are in all instances subject to our actual receipt of payment
as stated above in the case of items sent to us.
Unpaid Checks and Protest Instructions
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York receives and forwards checks only under
the following instructions:
Wire direct to this bank non-payment of items of $500 or over, naming indorsement
immediately preceding that of this bank, and giving reason for non-payment.
Items of $10 or under do not protest.
Items of $10.01 and over protest, if items do not bear on the face this stamp
[ N. p. i-i2o~[ or similar stamp containing the transit number of a preceding bank indorser.
IV. PRACTICE FOR SENDING BANKS
Unpaid Checks and Protest Instructions
If it is desired that checks be handled, as to protest and notice of dishonor, other
than in accordance with the above instructions, they must be sent us as collection items
with special instructions and we will forward them accordingly.
Protested checks forwarded for collection for the second time must be included in
the member bank's collection letter and not in its cash letter.



COLLECTION OP CHECKS

Sorting Checks
In order to expedite the forwarding of checks and the obtaining of prompt credit,
member banks are requested to sort and list checks in accordance with the divisions of
our time schedule, with a separate letter or total for each separate time group. All letters
received, separated in accordance with the time schedule, will be credited in full for the
total shown and errors in listing or footing will be adjusted by a separate debit or credit.
Checks received unsorted will not be made available until the lapse of the longest period
applicable to any of the items enclosed.
Federal Reserve District Number on Checks
In order to expedite the sorting and routing of checks, all banking institutions in
this district are requested to print on their own checks and the checks used by their
depositors the figure " 2 " (signifying Federal Reserve District, No. 2), preferably in a
large skeleton figure in the center of the check.
V. PRACTICE FOR PAYING AND COLLECTING BANKS
A return remittance form of letter for the use of the remitting bank will be enclosed with,
every outgoing transit letter. This form should be returned with the remittance draft.
Any unpaid items received in any letters from the Federal Reserve Bank, unless
held for protest, should be returned with the remittance for such letter, the total unpaid
items to be deducted from the footing of such letter, and the net amount remitted, so
that in each instance the remittance plus unpaid items returned therewith, plus itemss
if any, held for protest, will equal the amount of the letter. Items held for protest should
be returned with draft in payment of the next succeeding letter, the amount of the protest
fees being deducted from such letter.
Notice of non-payment shall be given and protest made in accordance with the
instructions indicated above.
All checks returned to us for indorsement should be certified.
Collectible at Par through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Member banks and banking institutions remitting at par are entitled to place the
words, "Collectible at Par through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York," on their
own checks and the checks used by their depositors. Attention is called to the desirability of^availing of this privilege.

The right is reserved to withdraw, add to, or amend at any time or from time to time,
any or all of the foregoing rules and regulations with or without previous notice.




Very truly yours,
BENJ. STRONG,
Governor.
