FedCash® Services Depositing and Ordering

FedCash Services provide your institution with the ability to order and deposit currency and coin with the Federal Reserve Banks. To obtain FedCash Services, you must have:

  • An account with the Federal Reserve Banks, or a settlement relationship with a correspondent institution. For more information on setting up a new account contact your relationship manager or review Accounting Services Setup;
  • A subscription to the FedLine Web® Solution. Depository institutions are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of any access control features, such as user IDs and passwords, that the Federal Reserve Bank provides to you; and
  • Arrangements with an armored carrier for transportation of cash.

Detailed information regarding procedures is available for the following services:

In addition, your institution will need to familiarize itself with currency and coin depositing and ordering deadlines for your servicing Federal Reserve Office.

Effective October 5, 2020, the deadline for ordering currency and coin for all Federal Reserve Bank offices and cash depots will change to 12:00 p.m. local time zone.

The Federal Reserve previously announced its intent to implement the change in the cash order deadline on April 27, 2020 and first announced the implementation on February 3, 2020. However, as the U.S. cash supply chain was collectively focused on meeting cash demand in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve postponed the implementation until further notice. We are now proceeding with the establishment of the national cash order deadline.

Ordering Options

Institutions may order cash via the FedLine Web® Solution, which is designed to be secure and reliable.
