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.
