FED_CURRENCY_DELIVERY_AUDIT • OPERATING CIRCULAR NO. 5 • FRB CASH SERVICES

Federal Reserve Depository Delivery Audit Checklist

Pre-arrival security protocols, reinforced sally port interlock entry procedures, dual-custody barcoded currency bundle verification, and electronic manifest reconciliation.

OPERATING CIRCULAR NO. 5

Fed Cash Services Mandate

Federal Reserve Bank Cash Services requires strict adherence to Operating Circular No. 5. Armored carriers must maintain pre-authorized courier rosters, scheduled arrival windows, and standard 100-note strap / 1,000-note bundle packaging specifications.

SALLY PORT TRAP DYNAMICS

High-Security Outer/Inner Gates

Conveyances entering Federal Reserve Bank docks must clear a ballistic interlocking sally port. Vehicle undercarriages, engine bays, and driver credentials undergo biometric and explosive trace screening before the inner blast gate opens.

DUAL-CUSTODY TRANSFER

Unbroken Barcode Chain

Both the armored courier lead and the Federal Reserve Receiving Teller must scan tamper-evident bag barcodes simultaneously. Any discrepancies in bundle counts, torn seals, or unreadable barcodes initiate immediate quarantine protocols.
