The Federal Reserve Banks are tracking changes in technology and upgrading platforms so we can provide you with the highest quality products and services. As such, we have embarked on an initiative to modernize the System’s Check platform. This effort, Check Platform Modernization, will result in a centralized processing infrastructure, moving from multiple electronic processing sites to one to support high–quality, efficient processing. In addition, this modernization initiative is expected to support high–quality, efficient services while providing a flexible and scalable infrastructure in an increasingly electronic environment. The Check Platform Modernization initiative is underway, with internal testing taking place now. We expect to begin testing with processors/vendors by the end of the first quarter and the lager customer community in the second quarter. Migration to the new platform is targeted to occur in the second half of 2012 and will result in a fully centralized, scalable, and flexible processing environment to support high quality, efficient check services.
Detailed information related to various aspects of the project, including the implementation timeline, customer and vendor testing opportunities, and other operational changes will be provided throughout the year.
We will periodically add information to this resource center as this initiative moves forward. For your convenience, we have added the Check Platform Modernization Resource Center to ”My Quick Links“ in the left navigation bar on FRBServices.org so you can easily access this page for the latest news and updates.
