Treasury Check Verification System – Coming Soon

Scheduled to launch in mid-June 2025

This ABA- supported service is intended as a centralized point of access to the TCVS. ABA does not expressly or by implication, own, maintain or service the information held by the U.S. Treasury to support the system inquiries.

TCVS is a tool designed to provide information to assist the End User in making a decision regarding the validity of a Treasury check, and that the determination on whether to negotiate a Treasury check remains the responsibility of the End User; that while Fiscal Service will make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of the data available in TCVS, information may not be timely since it is updated once a day (not in real time); and, that Fiscal Service does not warrant the data or accept any liability for any inaccuracies in that data.

To use the TCVS, you must:

  • Be employed at an ABA member bank.
  • Log in using your bank email address associated with your aba.com account. This is how we will verify that you are affiliated with an ABA member institution.
  • Validate your bank affiliation by entering an access code that will be sent to your email address.
  • Agree to the terms and conditions. You can view the terms and conditions here:

How the TCVS works:

After entering the access code that is sent to you and accepting the terms and conditions, you will be prompted to enter the check information including the symbol, serial number, amount, and bank routing number. ABA will then connect to the TCVS to verify the issue information and provide you with the response from U.S. Treasury including the check status and payee name.

Note: only individual check verification will be supported
