FIR S T VICE P R E S ID E N T

Circular 85-135
TO: All depository institutions in the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District
SUBJECT
Fee and availability schedule for commercial check services
DETAILS
Effective January 1, 1986, a new fee schedule for check services will
be implemented at all Federal Reserve Banks. The new schedule is projected to
fully recover all operating and float costs as well as the private sector
adjustment factor throughout 1986.
With few exceptions, check processing fees in alldistricts
are
virtually unchanged for the second consecutive year. This shows the
stability, consistency and continued improvement in the efficient delivery of
Federal Reserve services.
Information about deposit deadlines, availability and new prices for
check services offered to in-zone depositors at each of the four Eleventh
District offices is provided in the enclosure.
Availability schedules and prices for interterritory check collection
services offered by other Federal Reserve Banks are available upon request.
These include the direct send service--where a depository institution arranges
its own transportation to another Federal Reserve office--and the consolidated
shipment service--where the depository institution deposits items at the local
Reserve Bank for shipment to other Federal Reserve offices using our
transportation network.
ATTACHMENTS
The check collection service and fee schedule is attached.
