Treasury Check Verification System with Payee Name

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.

How the TCVS works:

Once in the system, you will enter the check serial number, symbol, and amount.

ABA will then connect to the Treasury Check Verification System (TCVS) to verify the check details and return a response from the U.S. Treasury, including the check status and payee name.

Things to note:

• Only individual check verification is supported at this time.
• The API functions as a connection between ABA and TCVS; it is not integrated into your internal systems.

For more information on the TCVS process, return scenarios, and frequently asked questions, please refer to the guide.
