If your institution uses the forward check collection services of any of the Federal Reserve Banks, you may take advantage of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's Foreign Check Collection Service, provided by its Charlotte, North Carolina, Branch.
The Foreign Items cash letter will auto populate Federal Reserve Bank specific routing information to ensure the cash letter reaches the appropriate processing site. (Cash letters will still be submitted to your local Federal Reserve Bank check processing office.)
Checks drawn on depository institutions outside of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts can be forwarded to the Charlotte Federal Reserve Bank Office for collection. The process is easy. Here is all you need to know to get started.
For more information about Foreign Check Collection Services, visit the service offerings pages or contact the Foreign Check Clearing Contacts.
