Term Deposit Facility Setup

Any institution eligible to receive interest on balances maintained at the Federal Reserve Banks can participate in the Term Deposit Facility upon the approval of its Reserve Bank.

A Subscriber request must be submitted for each individual who will need access to the Term Deposit Facility application.
