The Federal Reserve Banks' Fedwire Services are designed to offer a secure, reliable method of handling large-value, time-critical payments and maintaining and transferring U.S. government and certain government agency, government-sponsored enterprises, and international organization book-entry securities. Our goal in offering these services is to foster the integrity, efficiency, and accessibility of U.S. wholesale payments and settlement systems in support of domestic financial stability and economic growth in a global context.
A real-time gross settlement system that offers participants the ability to send and receive time-critical payments for their own account or on behalf of their clients, such as providing cash concentration payments, settling positions with other financial institutions and/or clearing arrangements, submitting federal tax payments, and buying and selling Fed funds.
A book-entry securities transfer system that provides participants cost-effective safekeeping, transfer and delivery-versus-payment settlement services with flexible account structures and automated claim adjustment features.
