JANUARY 12, 1951

(Superseding Bulletin No. 8,
dated January 1, 1949)

COLLECTION OF CASH ITEMS
T o the Member and Nonmember Clearing Banks
o f the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:
Regulation J o f the Board o f Governors o f the Federal Reserve System,
this bulletin and our time schedules prescribe the terms and conditions upon
which we wiil receive and handle cash items for collection. Section 6 o f Regu­
lation J provides that each Federal Reserve bank may promulgate rules not
inconsistent with the terms o f the law or o f Regulation J, governing the details
o f its operations in clearing and collecting checks and other cash items, and
that such rules shall be binding upon any member or nonmember clearing bank
which sends any check or other cash item to such Federal Reserve bank for
collection or to any other Federal Reserve bank for the account o f such Fed­
eral Reserve bank for collection. This bulletin and our time schedules are is­
sued pursuant to this provision o f Regulation J.
Unless otherwise stated, all references to the Federal Reserve Bank o f Dal­
las will include the head office and all o f its branches.
ITEMS WHICH W ILL BE ACCEPTED AS CASH ITEMS

The following will be accepted for collection as cash item s:
( 1 ) Checks drawn on banks or banking institutions (including pri­
vate bankers) located in any Federal Reserve district which are collec­
tible at par in funds acceptable to the collecting Federal Reserve bank.
The “ Federal Reserve Par List” , indicating the banks upon which
checks will be received by Federal Reserve banks for collection and
credit, is furnished from time to time and a supplement is furnished
each month showing changes subsequent to the last complete list. This
list is subject to change without notice and the right is reserved to re­
turn without presentment any items drawn on banks which may have
withdrawn or may have been removed from the list or may have been
reported closed.
( 2 ) Government checks drawn on the Treasurer o f the United
States.
( 3 ) Such other items, collectible at par in funds acceptable to the
Federal Reserve bank o f the district in which such items are payable,
as we may be willing to accept as cash items. W hen any such item is
accepted as a cash item, we will give credit therefor in accordance with
the provisions o f this bulletin and our time schedules; and with respect
to such item the “ T E R M S O F C O L L E C T IO N ” o f Section 3 o f Reg­
ulation G o f the Board o f Governors o f the Federal Reserve System, as
set forth in our current bulletin relating to the collection o f noncash
items, will apply as well as the relevant terms and conditions o f this
bulletin including paragraphs ( 2 ) and (4 ) o f Section 5 o f Regulation J
as set forth in this bulletin.

—2

B U L L E T IN No. 8

Items with passbook, certificate or any other document attached, and items
with special instructions or requiring special handling should be sent to us as
noncash collections, subject to the terms o f our current bulletin relating to the
collection o f noncash items. W e reserve the right to return or to handle as a
noncash collection any item which has been previously dishonored.
Checks drawn on or payable at a nonmember bank which is not included
in the currently effective Federal Reserve Par List, referred to above, will not
be received either as cash items or as noncash items by us or by any other Fed­
eral Reserve bank.
In the interests o f good banking, the indirect routing o f cash items is dis­
couraged, and member and nonmember clearing banks should not send to us or
to other Federal Reserve banks for our account, any items payable in other
Federal Reserve districts, which bear the endorsements o f banks located in
other Federal Reserve districts, in cases where it is evident that such items have
been routed indirectly.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF COLLECTION

Every bank sending cash items to us or to another Federal Reserve bank
direct for our account, by such act, will be understood to have agreed to the
terms and conditions o f this bulletin, o f our time schedules, and o f Regulation
J in effect at the time such cash items are received by the Federal Reserve bank.
Cash items payable in other Federal Reserve districts and forwarded fo r
collection to the Federal Reserve banks o f such other districts either by us or
by our member and nonmember clearing banks for our account will be handled
by such other Federal Reserve banks subject to the terms and conditions o f
Regulation J and o f the respective bulletins and time schedules o f such other
Federal Reserve banks, and to the rules o f law applicable to such banks; but
we will give credit for such items in accordance with our time schedules.
Section 5 o f Regulation J prescribes terms and conditions under which
all Federal Reserve banks will handle checks as cash items for member and
nonmember clearing banks. Such terms and conditions, and the terms and con­
ditions o f this bulletin and o f our time schedules, will apply to the handling
o f all items which we accept for collection as cash items and to the handling
o f all bank drafts and other forms o f payment or remittance which we receive
for such items. The terms and conditions prescribed by Section 5 o f Regula­
tion J are as follow s:
“ The Board o f Governors o f the Federal Reserve System hereby
authorizes the Federal Reserve banks to handle such checks subject to
the following terms and conditions; and each member and nonmember
clearing bank which sends checks to any Federal Reserve bank for de­
posit or collection shall by such action be deemed (a ) to authorize the
Federal Reserve banks to handle such checks subject to the following
terms and conditions; (b ) to warrant its own authority to give the Fed­
eral Reserve banks such authority; ( c ) to agree to indemnify any Fed­
eral Reserve bank for any loss or expense sustained (including but not
limited to attorneys’ fees and expenses o f litigation) resulting from the
failure o f such sending bank to have such authority, or resulting from
such Federal Reserve bank’s guaranty o f prior endorsements, or result­

— 3—

B U L L E T IN N o. 8

ing from any action taken by the Federal Reserve bank within the scope
o f its authority for the purpose o f collecting such checks; and ( d ) to
guarantee all prior endorsements on such checks whether or not a spe­
cific guaranty is incorporated in an endorsement o f the sending bank.
“ (1 ) A Federal Reserve bank will act only as agent o f the bank
from which it receives such checks and will assume no liability except
for its own negligence and its guaranty o f prior endorsements.
“ (2 ) A Federal Reserve bank may present such checks for pay­
ment or send such checks for collection direct to the bank on which they
are drawn or at which they are payable, or in its discretion may fo r­
ward them to another agent with authority to present them for payment
or send them for collection direct to the bank on which they are drawn
or at which they are payable. A Federal Reserve bank, or any agent to
which such checks are forwarded by a Federal Reserve bank, may pre­
sent such checks pursuant to any special collection agreement not incon­
sistent with the terms o f this regulation or may present them through a
clearing house subject to the rules and practices thereof.
“ ( 3 ) A Federal Reserve bank may, in its discretion and at its op­
tion, either directly or through or from an agent, accept in payment of
or in remittance for such checks, cash, bank drafts, transfers o f funds
or bank credits, or other forms o f payment or remittance, acceptable
to the collecting Federal Reserve bank. The Federal Reserve bank shall
not be liable for the failure o f the drawee bank or any agent to pay or
remit fo r such checks, nor for any loss resulting from the acceptance
from the drawee bank or any collecting agent, in lieu o f cash, o f any
other form o f payment or remittance authorized herein, nor fo r the
nonpayment of, or failure to realize upon, any bank draft or other
medium o f payment or remittance which may be accepted from the
drawee bank or any collecting agent.
“ ( 4 ) A n y check which a Federal Reserve bank or an agent thereof
presents to the drawee bank for payment or sends to the drawee bank
for collection, and fo r which remittance or settlement is made by the
drawee bank on the day on which it receives8 such check, may be returned
for credit or refund at any time prior to midnight o f the drawee’ s next
business day following such day o f receipt or prior to the time provided
by applicable clearing house rule or special collection agreement, which­
ever is earlier, except that this paragraph shall not apply to checks pre­
sented over tbe counter.
“ (5 ) Checks received by a Federal Reserve bank which are payable
in its own district will ordinarily be forwarded or presented direct to
the banks on which they are drawn, and such banks will be required to
remit or pay therefor at par in such one or more o f the forms o f pay­
ment or remittance authorized under paragraph (3 ) hereof as may be
acceptable to the Federal Reserve bank.
“ 3A check received by a drawee bank on a day other than its business day, or received
on a business day after its regular business hours or during afternoon or evening periods
when it has reopened (or remained open) for limited functions, shall be deemed to have
been received on its next succeeding business day.”

—4—

B U L L E T IN No. 8

“ ( 6 ) Checks received by a Federal Reserve bank payable in other
districts will ordinarily be forwarded for collection to the Federal Re­
serve bank o f the district in which such checks are payable; provided,
however, that, where arrangements can be made satisfactory to the col­
lecting bank or agent and to the Federal Reserve bank o f the district
in which such checks are payable, any such checks may be forwarded
for collection direct to the bank on which they are drawn or at which
they are payable, or may be forwarded for collection to another agent
with authority to present them for payment direct to the bank on which
they are drawn or at which they are payable. A ll such checks shall be
handled subject to all the terms and conditions o f this regulation.
“ (7 ) W ith respect to any check sent direct by a member or non­
member clearing bank in one district to a Federal Reserve bank in an­
other district, the relationships and the rights and liabilities existing be­
tween the member or nonmember clearing bank, the Federal Reserve
bank o f its district and the Federal Reserve bank to which the check
is sent will be the same, and the relevant provisions o f this regulation
will apply, as though the member or nonmernber clearing bank had sent
such check to the Federal Reserve bank o f its district with its endorse­
ment and guaranty o f prior endorsements and such Federal Reserve
bank had sent the check to the other Federal Reserve bank with its
endorsement and guaranty o f prior endorsements.
" ( 8 ) Bank drafts received by a Federal Reserve bank in payment
o f or in remittance fo r checks handled under the terms o f this regula­
tion shall likewise be handled for collection subject to all the terms and
conditions o f this regulation.
“ (9 ) The amount o f any check fo r which payment in actually and
finally collected funds is not received shall be charged back to the for­
warding bank, regardless o f whether or not the check itself can be re­
turned. In such event, neither the owner or holder o f any such check,
nor the bank which sent such check to the Federal Reserve bank for
collection shall have any right o f recourse upon, interest in, or right of
payment from, any reserve balance, clearing account, deposit account,
or other funds o f the drawee bank or o f any bank to which such checks
have been sent for collection, in the possession o f the Federal Reserve
bank. N o draft, authorization to charge, or other order, upon any re­
serve balance, clearing account, deposit account, or other funds o f a
paying, remitting, or collecting bank in the possession o f a Federal R e­
serve bank, issued for the purpose o f settling items handled under the
terms o f this regulation will be paid, acted upon, or honored after re­
ceipt by such Federal Reserve bank o f notice o f suspension or closing
o f such paying, remitting, or collecting bank.”
GOVERNMENT CHECKS

United States Government checks will be handled in accordance with, and
subject to the provisions o f, Treasury Department Circular No. 176 in effect
at the time such items are received by u s ; and with respect to matters not cov­
ered by such circular, the provisions o f Regulation J, this bulletin and our time
schedules shall be deemed applicable to all Government checks. Credit for

— 5—

B U L L E T IN N o. 8

Government checks will be given in accordance with our time schedules and
will be subject in all cases to examination and payment by or on behalf o f the
Treasurer o f the United States.
Section 25 o f Treasury Department Circular No. 176 (Title 31, Code of
Federal Regulations, Chapter II, Subchapter A , Section 202.25) relates to the
handling and payment o f checks drawn on the Treasurer of the United States
received at Federal Reserve banks. Copies o f this section will be furnished
upon request.
PREPARATION OF CASH LETTERS BY SENDING BANKS

In order to obtain prompt credit, member and nonmember clearing banks
should assort items and list them in separate letters in accordance with our
time schedules. Drafts drawn by member or nonmember clearing banks on
their commercial bank correspondents sent to this bank or direct to other
Federal Reserve banks or branches for credit should be listed in separate cash
letters. Availability o f credit for such items will be based on the transit time
normally required to effect collection.
A ll cash items, whether subject to immediate or deferred credit, may be
forwarded to us or may be forwarded by banks having the direct sending
privilege to other Federal Reserve banks or branches without description;
however, the depositing banks should maintain adequate records to enable them
to identify their depositors in the event any items are lost or destroyed in
transit between the depositing bank and the Reserve bank or branch to which
such items are sent for collection, or in the event any items are lost or de­
stroyed after receipt by the collecting Reserve bank or branch.
A ll mail forwarded to the head office at Dallas should be addressed “ Fed­
eral Reserve Bank, Station K, Dallas 13, Texas.”
ENDORSEMENTS

All cash items sent to us, or to another Federal Reserve bank direct for
our account, should be endorsed without restriction to the order o f the Federal
Reserve bank to which sent, or endorsed to the order o f any bank, banker or
trust company, or with some similar endorsement. Cash items will be accepted
by us, and by other Federal Reserve banks, only upon the understanding and
condition that all prior endorsements are guaranteed by the sending bank.
There should be incorporated in the endorsement o f the sending bank the
phrase, “ A ll prior endorsements guaranteed” . The act o f sending or delivering
a cash item to us or to another Federal Reserve bank will, however, be deemed
and understood to constitute a guaranty o f all prior endorsements on such
item, whether or not an express guaranty is incorporated in the sending bank’s
endorsement. The endorsement o f the sending bank should be dated and should
show the American Bankers Association transit number o f the sending bank
in prominent type on both sides.
UNIFORM INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING PROTEST AND W IRE
ADVICE OF NONPAYMENT

Federal Reserve banks will receive, handle and forward cash items subject
to the following uniform instructions regarding protest and wire advice of
nonpayment except that United States Government checks will not be pro­
tested :

— 6—

B U L L E T IN N a 8

(1 ) D O N O T P R O T E S T items o f $500 or less.
(2 ) P R O T E S T dishonored items o f $500.01 or over, except those
bearing on their face the A .B .A . no protest symbol o f a Federal
Reserve bank or o f a preceding bank endorser.
(3 ) D O N O T W I R E A D V IC E o f nonpayment o f items o f less than
$ 1,000.
'
(4 ) W I R E A D V IC E o f nonpayment o f all items o f $1,000 or over,
except those not paid because o f missing, irregular or unsatisfac­
tory endorsement and those bearing on their face “ D O N O T
W IR E N O N P A Y M E N T ” with the A .B .A . transit number o f a
Federal Reserve bank or o f a preceding bank endorser.
A ll Federal Reserve banks will receive, handle and forward cash items
only in accordance with these uniform instructions, and any contrary or
special instructions noted on cash letters or otherwise transmitted with cash
items will be disregarded.
I f a bank should desire to have any cash item handled by us or by any
other Federal Reserve bank under any instructions differing from the uniform
instructions given above, it will be necessary for such bank to forward such
item as an individual noncash item, with the instructions noted in the letter o f
transmittal, for collection and credit when paid, in accordance with the terms
o f our current bulletin relating to the collection o f noncash items.
TELEGRAPHIC COSTS

Telegrams pertaining to payment, nonpayment or tracing o f cash items, or
in connection with receiving or transmitting pertinent information or instruc­
tions, will be sent, to the extent practicable, over the Federal Reserve leased
wires without cost to member and nonmember clearing banks. The cost o f all
such telegrams sent over commercial wires will be charged to the banks from
which the items were received, and commercial wire telegrams to such banks
will be sent “ collect” .
TIME SCHEDULES AND AVAILABILITY OF CREDITS

W e publish and furnish to member and nonmember clearing banks time
schedules showing when cash items will become available for reserve and with­
drawal or other use by the sending banks after receipt by us. F or all items
accepted as cash items the sending bank will be given immediate credit or de­
terred credit, in accordance with such time schedules and as provided in R eg­
ulation J. Credit for letters containing items unassorted as to availability may
be deferred for the longest period o f availability prescribed by our current
time schedules with respect to any item enclosed, not to exceed two busi­
ness days.
Time schedules do not in many instances show the actual time required
for collection, and advices received from us showing the availability o f credit
fo r cash items cannot be considered as advices o f actual payment on the dates
o f availability. Credit will in all instances be subject to receipt of payment by
us in actually and finally collected funds.
Immediate Credit. F or all such cash items as are accepted for immediate
credit in accordance with our current time schedules, immediate credit will be

— 7—

B U L L E T IN N o. 8

given upon our books at full face value in the reserve account or clearing
account upon the day o f receipt, and the proceeds will at once be counted as
reserve (in the case o f a member bank) and become available for withdrawal
or other use by the sending bank; provided, however, that we may in our
discretion refuse at any time to permit the withdrawal or other use o f credit
given for any item for which we have not yet received payment in actually and
finally collected funds.
Deferred Credit. F or all such cash items as are accepted fo r deferred
credit in accordance with our current time schedules, deferred credit will be
entered upon our books at full face value, but the proceeds will not be counted
as reserve nor become available for withdrawal or other use by the sending
bank until the expiration o f the time specified in our time schedules, at which
time credit will be transferred from the deferred account to the reserve ac­
count or clearing account and will then be counted as reserve (in the case o f
a member bank) and become available for withdrawal or other use by the
sending bank; provided, however, that we may in our discretion refuse at any
time to permit the withdrawal or other use o f credit given for any item for
which we have not yet received payment in actually and finally collected funds.
AIR TRANSPORTATION

In sending cash items for collection, this bank uses available air transpor­
tation facilities wherever such facilities offer a reasonable expectation o f ear­
lier presentment o f cash items or in those cases where earlier delivery facili­
tates the w ork o f the receiving Federal Reserve bank or branch.
INSTRUCTIONS TO COLLECTING AND REMITTING BANKS

Remittances for our cash letters should be made on the day o f receipt, at
par in immediately available or acceptable funds.
W e will receive fo r credit or refund cash items which are returned to us
by collecting and remitting banks in accordance with paragraph (4 ) o f Section
5 o f Regulation J, set forth in this bulletin under the heading “ Terms and
Conditions o f Collection” . Such provision o f Regulation J does not mean,
however, that any bank is required to follow the practice o f delaying the re­
turn o f unpaid cash item s; and any collecting or remitting bank may continue
to return unpaid cash items with its remittance on the day o f receipt. Each
cash item returned unpaid should bear a notation clearly indicating the reason
therefor.
I f unpaid items are returned on the day o f receipt, they should be de­
ducted from and returned with the remittance for the cash letter in which the
items were received. Those items for which remittance has been made on the
day o f receipt and on which payment is revoked in accordance with paragraph
(4 ) o f Section 5 o f Regulation J may be deducted from and returned with
the remittance fo r the cash letter received the following day.
DIRECT SENDING OF CASH ITEMS TO OTHER FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

Member and nonmember clearing banks, having a substantial volume o f
cash items payable in other Federal Reserve districts which they wish to col­
lect through the Federal Reserve banks, are urged to apply to us for permis­
sion to send such items direct to the Federal Reserve banks and branches o f

— 8—

B U L L E T IN N o. 8

the districts in which such items are payable, for collection and credit to us.
Appropriate instructions will be sent to the banks to which such permission is
granted.
W hen in our judgment a member or nonmember clearing bank has a suf­
ficient volume o f cash items payable in other Federal Reserve districts to jus­
tify direct routing, we reserve the right to decline to accept such items for
collection unless they are routed direct to the Federal Reserve banks and
branches o f such other Federal Reserve districts.
Reimbursement o f Transportation Costs. Each member bank which
sends cash items direct to other Federal Reserve banks and branches, or to an
office o f this bank other than the one at which its reserve account is carried,
will be reimbursed by us for postage or other transportation costs, not includ­
ing insurance, on all such direct sent items. Transportation costs on cash items
delivered to us by member banks for consolidated shipment to Federal Reserve
banks and branches will be paid by us.
Each direct sending member bank is requested to give constant attention
to methods o f shipment and to change a method in any case in which shipment
can be made at a lower cost without loss o f time in presentment. In cases in
which we pay the transportation costs, we reserve the right to require a change
in method of shipment in any situation where, by the use o f another method,
presentment can consistently be made more promptly, or at a lower cost and
without loss o f time.
CHECK ROUTING SYMBOL

T o facilitate the sorting and routing o f checks and other cash items by all
banks, and thereby promote earlier presentment, the appropriate check rout­
ing symbol in fractional form should be clearly imprinted in the upper righthand corner o f all checks or other cash items drawn payable by, at, or through
all par remitting banks. It is preferable that the symbol be printed in gothic
type, the face o f which measures at least 8 points vertically or 1 /9 o f an inch
from the top to the bottom o f the individual characters.

RIGHT TO AMEND

The right is reserved to withdraw, add to, or amend, at any time, any o f
the provisions o f this bulletin and o f our time schedules.
Respectfully,
R . R . G IL B E R T
President

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF DALLAS

TRANSFERS OF FUNDS
T o the Member and Nonmember Clearing Banks
o f the Eleventh Federal Reserve D istrict:
Unless otherwise stated, all references to the Federal Reserve Bank of
Dallas will include the head office and all o f its branches.
TRANSFERS OF BANK BALANCES FOR MEMBER BANKS

Telegraphic transfers between Federal Reserve banks and branches o f bank
balances o f $1,000 or over will be made for member banks without charge.
Such transfers will be made for and paid to member banks only. The term
“ bank balance” shall be construed to mean an accumulation o f funds compris­
ing an established account maintained by a member bank with its Federal
Reserve bank or with another member bank.
The descriptive data in telegrams transferring bank balances without
charge must be limited to the name o f the sending member bank, name o f its
correspondent member bank requesting the transfer, name o f the member bank
receiving credit, and the name o f its correspondent member bank.
Transfers fo r the benefit or use o f an individual, firm, corporation, or nouinember bank and transfers o f the proceeds o f individual collection items or
individual cash letters will not be made without charge.
OTHER TRANSFERS

Telegraphic transfers o f funds fo r any purpose and in any amount and
without limitation as to descriptive data will be made for and paid to member
banks subject in each case to a charge which will approximate but not exceed
the commercial wire rate for the telegram or telegrams involved in the trans­
fer. W hile such transfers will be accepted from and paid to member banks
only, they may be for the use o f any bank, individual, firm or corporation.
Telegraphic transfers o f bank balances in multiples o f $100 will be made
fo r nonmember clearing banks subject to a charge as outlined in the preced­
ing paragraph. Such transfers will be accepted from any member bank for the
credit o f any nonmember clearing bank, and from any nonmember clearing
bank fo r the credit o f any member bank or any other nonmember clearing bank.
Member and nonmember clearing banks should prepay the cost o f tele­
grams requesting transfers that are subject to a charge, and telegrams to
member and nonmember clearing banks advising o f credit will be sent
“ collect” .
TELEGRAPHIC EXPENSE AND ADVICES OF CREDIT

The Federal Reserve Bank o f Dallas will absorb the cost o f telegrams
received from member banks requesting transfers o f bank balances o f $1,000
or over fo r use o f member banks.
Telegrams requesting transfers o f any other character should be prepaid
as the Federal Reserve Bank o f Dallas will not absorb the cost o f such
telegrams.

B U L L E T IN N o. 6

- 2 -

Except where telegraphic advice o f credit is requested, advice will ordi­
narily be sent by mail, it being assumed that the receiving bank will have
knowledge that the transfer is being made.
MAIL TRANSFERS

A ny member or nonmember clearing bank may request the Federal Reserve
Bank o f Dallas to charge any amount to its account and credit the amount to
the account o f any other member or nonmember clearing bank in this district
or to transfer the amount by mail to any other Federal Reserve bank fo r the
credit o f any o f its member or nonmember clearing banks.
N o charge will be made for handling mail transfers.
GENERAL

Requests for transfers should be made by letter, over an authorized signa­
ture, but, if necessary, may be made by telegram in American Bankers
Association code, properly tested, in which latter case an officially signed
letter o f confirmation should follow immediately by mail.
It is the policy o f this bank not to accept instructions over the telephone to
make transfers o f funds.
Unless otherwise instructed, requests for telegraphic transfers will be
handled on the date received, provided they reach this bank not later than the
time shown by the schedule herein.
A request to transfer funds will be construed as authority to charge the
account o f the requesting member or nonmember clearing bank to cover the
amount o f funds to be transferred, unless such request is accompanied by a
draft o f the requesting bank drawn against its account with this bank. Charges
against accounts with, and payment o f drafts drawn on, this bank, as men­
tioned herein, will be made only against adequate collected balances.
Member or nonmember clearing banks may request correspondent mem­
ber or nonmember clearing banks in this or other districts to transfer funds
through the Federal Reserve bank or branch to which such correspondents are
attached.
This bank reserves the right to decline to handle any transfer which, in its
opinion, is an abuse o f the wire transfer facilities, or which involves the ful­
fillment o f unusual or extraordinary conditions.
LIABILITY OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK

The Federal Reserve Bank o f Dallas will use due diligence and care in
the transfer o f funds by telegraph to the receiving Federal Reserve bank for
credit to the account o f the payee bank, but will not be responsible for errors
or delays caused by circumstances beyond its control.
A ny member or nonmember clearing bank using the transfer facilities
offered by the Federal Reserve Bank o f Dallas will be understood by such use
to have agreed to the terms and conditions set forth in this bulletin.
The right is reserved to withdraw, add to, or amend at any time, any o f
the provisions o f this bulletin.
