FedCash^® E-Manifest Service

Now is the time to bring cash supply chain logistics up to speed.

The Federal Reserve has successfully piloted the E-Manifest Service, leveraging API technology, for currency deposits and orders beginning February 2023, and onboarded financial institutions and their servicing armored carriers across the country as early adopters.

The E-Manifest Service¹ is available to all financial institution customers of the Federal Reserve Banks and their servicing armored carriers, with no fees from the Fed to use this service. With the E-Manifest Service, armored carriers, on behalf of their financial institution customers, can share and receive electronic information in real-time. The Fed is dedicated to working with you to increase adoption of E-Manifest and bring greater transparency and efficiency to the United States cash supply chain.

2. The digital E-Manifest is retrieved
3. Each bag is scanned and reconciled with the digital E-Manifest
4. An E-Receipt is issued and the transfer is completed
