Atlanta's business continuity page provides contact information for the Atlanta District as well as general information on Atlanta Cash and Check Services.

Business continuity contacts
Please designate a person or persons at your organization to be in charge of communication with the Federal Reserve should a business disruption occur. The contacts are important to the successful implementation of the Federal Reserve's business continuity plan.

The designated contact person for your institution should be familiar with your operations and with your electronic connections to the Federal Reserve. During a disruption, the contact should be able to receive our broadcast fax messages, effectively handle other information presented by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, and disseminate it to all appropriate parties at your financial institution.

Please provide the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta with the following information:

• Contact Name
• Institution
• Mailing address
• ABA number
• Phone number
• Fax number
• E-mail

This information can be submitted to the following customer support numbers:

• Cash: (877) 553-9735
• Checks: (877) 372-2457
• FedACH: (866) 234-5681

Please keep us informed whenever your designated business continuity contact(s) change so that we can communicate effectively with your institution should a Federal Reserve disruption arise.

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 Atlanta'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 at www.frbservices.org/financial-services/cash/business-continuity/index.html for more information.

If the normal provision of cash services is impaired, the Sixth District may notify its customers via one or more of the following methods:

• FedLine^® Web broadcast message
• Posting on the District Web site: atlantafed.org

Accessing Federal Reserve cash services
If your normal currency and coin ordering channels (e.g., FedLine^® Web and FedLine^® DOS) are unavailable, you can also place orders by contacting your local Federal Reserve office via telephone. Please see contact numbers provided below.

If a Sixth 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.

Check Services and FedACH

In the event of a business disruption at the Federal Reserve
During a business disruption, Federal Reserve staff will work to ensure the highest possible level of service for our customers. Successful operations will require preparation, coordination, and cooperation between your institution and Federal Reserve staff. Answers to your critical questions about Federal Reserve Check Services and FedACH continuity procedures are provided on the National Business Continuity information page located at www.frbservices.org/financial-services/check/business-continuity.html.

This information should be used for your institution's business continuity planning. In the event you need to contact the Check Services or FedACH Customer Support Centers, you can reach them at:
