ITYP Description | Proper Usage
Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) Item - Used by the Paper Deposit Bank to request a credit entry regarding their allegation they received an original paper check returned unpaid (via Paid Item (PAID) adjustment entry or a Return Letter) because the check was previously deposited using a remote deposit capture service. The RDC item must have been processed through the Federal Reserve Banks (FRBs) and the RDC Bank must have received settlement, through a FRB, for the item with no return of the item.
The Paper Deposit Bank must have received the original paper item as a deposit, sent it forward through the FRB for collection and had it charged back via a Forward (FWD) PAID adjustment entry or Return Letter and the item did not have a restrictive indorsement that is inconsistent with the paper deposit.
If you discover an RDC item, submit an adjustment request to the Federal Reserve.
Note: If the charge back was received via a FWD PAID adjustment entry, the Federal Reserve Bank’s Sender Reference Number (SREF) from the PAID adjustment entry is required. Provide the SREF for the PAID adjustment entry in the Receiver Reference Number (RREF) field of the RDC request.
If the charge back was received via a return letter, the Federal Reserve’s source for the RDC item, including the date and sequence number (obtained from the Paying Bank) is required in the comments.
