Coming Soon: Cash Ordering Online
Today, Eighth District financial institutions place orders for currency and coin via Edith or the MS-DOS® version of FedLine. Plans are currently underway, however, to enable financial institutions to order currency and coin using the Internet.
The four St. Louis Fed offices are involved in a System-wide pilot program that enables financial institutions to order currency, coin and some supplies over the Internet using FedLine for the Web (FLWeb). Several banks have been placing orders online for the past few months. Later in the year, FLWeb will be offered to financial institutions throughout the Eighth District.
FLWeb is a new way for customers to access the Federal Reserve electronically. It is simple to use, easy to access and has few special hardware requirements. FLWeb runs on most desktop computers, once a secure connection has been established with the Fed. All you need is browser software and an Internet connection.
The Fed has developed this new method for ordering currency and coin to meet the needs of a changing marketplace and to ensure easy, secure access to Fed payments and information services. If you have questions about the application, contact Louis Smith at the St. Louis Fed at 1-800-333-0861.
