2013 Depository and Financial Institution Payments Survey

Draft dated December 13, 2012

General Instructions
About the survey
The Federal Reserve Depository and Financial Institution Payments Survey is a national survey of depository and
financial institutions that offer transaction deposit accounts, prepaid card program accounts, and credit card accounts to
consumer, business, and government customers. The survey gathers data about noncash payments, cash withdrawals
and deposits that post to customer accounts, and third-party payment fraud that took place during March 2013. Data from
your response will contribute to estimates of the national aggregate number of payments and withdrawals made by these
transaction methods. The Federal Reserve will compare the results of this survey to those of similar surveys in 2001,
2004, 2007, and 2010.

Confidentiality
Any information you provide for this survey is strictly confidential. Individual responses to the survey will not be shared
with the public or the industry.

Your participation
Your response to this survey will be used to estimate national aggregate volumes. To achieve the most reliable results, it
is important that you respond completely and accurately. If your institution outsources payments processing to
another organization, please request the necessary data from that organization or provide them with the survey so they
may respond on your behalf.
Please leave no item blank.
There are three possible ways to answer a survey question that requests a numeric value:
Enter the amount: The actual numeric value of the data element.
Enter a zero: When the calculated amount actually equals zero or if the amount does not exist (i.e., your institution
does not have volume for the item requested). Please do not enter a non-numeric value, e.g., “NA” or “NR”.
Enter “NR” (not reported): If your institution has volume of the type being measured, but you do not know it, or
cannot accurately estimate the amount. Please do not enter “NA”.

Institution Profile
This is an enterprise-wide survey.
Throughout this survey instrument, “your institution” refers to the entire enterprise including all affiliates.
For accurate statistical estimation of national aggregate figures, we need to know which affiliates (listed below) were not
included in your responses to different parts of the survey. We also need to know if our records need to be updated to
include additional affiliates not listed.
Please contact us at xxx-xxx-xxxx if you have any questions or concerns about the items on this page.



Yes

Don’t Know

In order to make national estimates, we use your institution’s deposit balances as a
sizing measure. Understanding if your institution used a retail sweeps program will help
inform our estimates. In a retail sweep, depository institutions move unused funds from
checkable deposit accounts to special purpose MMDA subaccounts and return the
funds to checkable deposit accounts only as needed to cover payments. This practice
does not adversely impact the accountholder but allows the institution to reduce
nonearning assets.

Did your institution provide card network acquiring services in
March 2013?
Answer Yes if your institution provided access to merchants or other accountholders
that receive payments over card networks.

Transaction deposit account-type definitions
Consumer account: A transaction deposit account for personal use by an individual or household from which payments are
commonly made. This includes checking accounts and NOW accounts. It excludes savings accounts and money market deposit
accounts, which, although eligible for a limited number of transactions per month, should not be included. Also exclude certificates
of deposit (CDs).
Business / government account: A transaction deposit account owned by an organization (i.e., business, government or not-forprofit) from which payments are commonly made. This includes small business accounts and commercial checking accounts – both
analyzed (i.e., those for which fees can be offset by balances via an earnings credit rate) and non-analyzed. It excludes savings
accounts and money market deposit accounts, which although eligible for a limited number of transactions per month, should not be
included. Also exclude certificates of deposit (CDs).

Transaction deposit accounts (including
demand deposit accounts)

Introduction: Offset ACH entries are on-us entries used to effect settlement by an ODFI. For example, when acting as ODFI for one
hundred $1,000 credit entries for a corporate accountholder, an ODFI might originate a single $100,000 debit entry to draw funds
from the originator’s funding account. In cases when the offset entry is included in the file originated by the accountholder, such
that the debit entry equals the total value of credit entries in the file, the ODFI receives a “balanced file” from the originator.
Note: See Glossary for definitions of ODFI (Originating Depository Financial Institution) and RDFI (Receiving Depository Financial
Institution).
