International ACH Transaction (IAT) Output Sort Sign Up Instructions

What the Service is

The service enables receiving points to receive IAT items in a file that is separate from most other SEC items. IATs are delivered by means of an existing FedACH® file type, AJ06, which also contains TRC, TRX, and XCK SEC items.

What the Service costs

Please review the FedACH Services fee schedule for cost information.

Who Can Sign Up

Depository Institutions that are receiving points and Service Providers sign up for the service. Depository Institutions that are not receiving points but want their IAT items delivered in an AJ06 file, will need to ask their Service Providers to sign up for the service.

How to Sign Up

Footnote

1 Item type sorts enable a DI to send different item types, e.g., corporate, commercial, government, etc., to different Receiving Points. A file sort may not be necessary for a DI that only receives the 407 item type (IATs, TRC, TRX, and XCK) and sends all other item types to another Receiving Point.
