Cash Services

IN THE EVENT OF A BUSINESS DISRUPTION AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE
Federal Reserve Cash Services maintains comprehensive business continuity plans that will be activated in the event of a business disruption. The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland’s business continuity plans are aligned with those of other Federal Reserve Districts to support continuity of service. Please visit our

national Cash Services business continuity page (http://www.frbservices.org/businesscontinuity/cash_services.html)

for more information.

If the normal provision of cash services is impaired, the Fourth District will notify its customers via the following methods: FedLine for the Web and FedPhone broadcast messages.

ACCESSING FEDERAL RESERVE CASH SERVICES
If your normal currency and coin ordering channels (e.g., FedLine for the Web and FedPhone) are unavailable, you can also place orders by contacting your local Federal Reserve office via telephone. In order to expedite our Due Diligence process, please ensure that the employee who contacts our Federal Reserve office is reflected on your institution's Official Authorization List (OAL). Please see contact numbers provided below.

If a Fourth District Fed office becomes inaccessible for an extended period of time, your financial institution may be directed to place orders with other Federal Reserve offices. You may also be informed about restrictions on currency and coin orders and deposits, and may be directed to alternative pick-up and delivery points.
