We have transitioned to a new secured Internet file transfer method, Secured Web Internet File Transfer (SWIFT). We no longer accept files at our former address.
We prefer you use the Internet. We also accept:
- IBM 3480 or 3490 tape cartridge.
- Compact Disk (CD).
- 3½" diskettes.
We will send you the Method 2 Inquiry File on the media type you selected on your election form:
- Internet (preferred).
- IMB 3480 tape cartridge.
- Compact Disk (CD).
- 3½" diskettes.
File naming convention:
For financial institutions:
Use your financial institution's name (you can abbreviate it) and FEIN as the file name. If you send more than one file for a particular quarter, add an alpha character after the FEIN (sequential order: a, b, c, etc.).
For transmitters:
If the file only has data exchange information for one financial institution, use the financial institution's name (you can abbreviate it) and FEIN as the file name. If you send more that one file for a particular quarter, add an alpha character after the FEIN (sequential order: a, b, c, etc.).
If the file has data exchange information for more than one financial institution use your business name (you can abbreviate it) and FEIN as the file name. If you send more that one file with multiple financial institutions on it, you may add an alpha character after the FEIN (sequential order: a, b, c, etc.).
File names are limited to 32 characters with no spaces between the characters in the file name. The file transfer will fail if the file name has spaces between the characters.
