ASAP Payment Requests FAQs

For the Bank Relationship, the numbers in the drop-down list represent a combination of the account number and routing number that have been partially sanitized for security reasons.

For the Payment Request Template, ASAP only supports templates within a single agency or region.

A summary payment requests one transfer of funds from multiple ASAP accounts. Individual payment requests separate transfer of funds per ASAP account.

The two payment methods are Fedwire and ACH:

• Select Fedwire for same-day settlement. Fedwire transactions settle almost immediately, assuming that there are no payment reviews associated with the account. Your financial institution may charge a fee for this type of transaction.
• Select ACH for next business-day settlement. If prefer same-day settlement, enter the current date in step 7. Same-day ACH payments must be requested before 2:30 p.m., Eastern Time.

The requested settlement date is the business date on which you would like to receive the funds.

This field allows the user to identify this request. Similar to a memo in a checkbook, it is used as an internal reference number by the grantee and has no impact the transaction.

The recipient ID is the seven-digit ASAP ID assigned during enrollment.

The ALC/region is the federal agency(s) and region(s) from which you are requesting funds. The ALC for DOJ is 15040001.

• Enter a date range in Settlement Date, then select a desired format and then select Continue.
