Federal R eserve Bank O F DALLAS T O N Y J . SALVAGGIO F IR S T V IC E P R E S ID E N T DALLAS, TEXAS 75222 _______ April 30, 1993 Notice 93-51 TO: The Chief Operating Officer of each financial institution in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District SUBJECT New Electronic Check Services and Reduced Microfilming Fees DETAILS Effective Tuesday, June 1, 1993, all offices of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas will offer new payor bank services. The new services are peak basic electronic check presentment, off-peak basic electronic check present ment, and off-peak fine sort capture service. These services expand our MICR capture services to provide for the electronic presentment of checks. With the basic electronic check presentment services, MICR line data is captured and delivered electronically through the Dallas Fed’s RESPONSE Network. Legal presentment occurs at the time of receipt of the MICR line information rather than with the physical presentment of the check. The distinction between the peak and off-peak basic presentment services is the time of day the MICR line information is captured and transmitted. For the peak service, files are generated during the normal processing cycle, while for the off-peak service, they are processed and transmitted after the normal processing cycle, but no later than 2:00 p.m. (local time). For the peak service, the physical checks are delivered on the same day on the normal courier delivery, while for the off-peak service, they are delivered the next day. The off-peak fine sort capture service may be used only in conjunc tion with other electronic presentment services. It provides for the capture of MICR line data from checks contained in fine sort packages. The fees for the three services are indicated below: Service Minimum Per Item Fee Peak Basic Electronic Presentment $4.00 $.002 Off-Peak Basic Electronic Presentment $2.00 $.001 Off-Peak Fine Sort Capture $.003 For additional copies, bankers and others are encouraged to use one of the following toll-free numbers in contacting the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas: Dallas Office (800) 333-4460; El Paso Branch Intrastate (800) 592-1631, Interstate (800) 351-1012; Houston Branch Intrastate (800) 392-4162, Interstate (800) 221-0363; San Antonio Branch Intrastate (800) 292-5810.
