FedReceipt® Plus for Returns

The Federal Reserve Banks’ most recent enhancement to the Check 21-enabled suite of services, FedReceipt Plus for Returns, offers financial institutions across the country the opportunity to optimize the benefits of electronic check processing by moving to a complete all-electronic process.  The service provides the bank of first deposit (BOFD) with an electronic file of all return items that have been deposited with the Federal Reserve Banks in an image return letter and all paper return items received that are imageable.  No paper versions of these items will follow.  (Note that non-imageable items will continue to be delivered as paper in the near term.)
