API Documentation

Column provides customers the ability to issue and deposit checks through our APIs. Column’s APIs are directly integrated with the Federal Reserve, enabling you to access the full suite of the Federal Reserve’s check services.

Checks can be issued or deposited by Column 24/7 and checks are processed regularly by the Federal Reserve on business days beginning at 6:00 pm PST on the preceding calendar day, Monday through Friday, excluding designated holidays. For example, the FedForward Service (sending deposited checks to the Fed) opens for Monday at 6:00pm PST on the preceding Sunday.

Similarly, the FedReturn service (returning cashed checks to the Federal Reserve) is available on business days beginning at 6:00pm PST on the preceding calendar day, ending at 1:00pm PST, Monday through Friday, excluding designated holidays.
