FedLine DirectSM

FedLine Direct offers unattended Internet Protocol (IP)-based access to critical payment services and was designed especially for financial institutions that require a highly secure computer-to-computer interface to Federal Reserve Financial Services. FedLine Direct offers access to customers who perform high-volume Fedwire® Funds and FedACH® Services transactions, while FedLine CommandSM offers an additional access option for FedACH users.

The Federal Reserve Banks are currently in the process of retiring the System Network Architecture (SNA) Computer Interface (CI) based access solution and converting customers to FedLine Direct and/or FedLine Command. The FedLine Direct and FedLine Command access solutions will replace the Federal Reserve Banks' current SNA CI-based solution for most services.
