In the Event of a Business Disruption at the Federal Reserve

Federal Reserve System's FedCash® Services maintains comprehensive business continuity plans that will be activated in the event of a business disruption. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s business continuity plans are aligned with those of other Federal Reserve Districts to support continuity of service. Please visit the national Cash Services business continuity page for more information.

Depository institutions and armored carriers will be notified of a disruption and provided with information about the event, including their local Federal Reserve office's availability and changes in the provision of Cash Services. The FRBServices.org website is the Federal Reserve's primary communication channel for events affecting FedCash Services. Event-related announcements and information on potential impacts to service delivery are posted on the Service Status and Latest News pages. For some events, broadcast messages via FedLine Web® and direct email announcements are distributed to FedLine web subscribers.
