Circular 90-89

each financial institution in the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District
SU BJECT
Fee and A v a i l a b i l i t y Sc h e d u l e s for
Commercial Check, Return Check, and Payor B a n k Serv i c e s
DETAILS

On January 1, 1991, all Federal Reserve Banks will implement new
check collection and return check fees and availability schedules. The new
prices are expected to remain in effect throughout 1991.
Except for selected forward and return check collection processing
fee changes, the schedules for the Eleventh District remain virtually
unchanged.
Fees for city items (excluding Houston), RCPC fine sort items, and
intraterritory items in a mixed cash letter will be reduced 0.1 cent. There
will be tiered pricing on intradistrict items, and fees on these items will be
greatly reduced.
Fees for RCPC premium items and out-of-district items will
increase.
Qualified regular and federal return items fees also will increase.
Several new payor bank services will be introduced in 1991.
Included will be a stand-alone microfilm service offered throughout the
Eleventh District. Also, all District offices will offer truncation and
extended MICR capture services.
The attachments provide information about deposit deadlines,
availability, and prices for check collection and return services offered to
local depositors at each of the four Eleventh District offices. Also attached
are the list of payor bank services and the 1991 fee schedule for those
services.
Deposit deadline and price schedules for interterritory check
collection and return services offered by other Federal Reserve Banks are
available upon request.
ATTACHMENTS
The check collection, return check, and payor bank service fee
schedules are attached.
