Transaction Corrections
Starting November 18, 2024, agencies will need to work with Treasury’s Fiscal Accounting area for Credit Gateway account number or Classification Key (CKey) corrections for Fedwire, FedNow, and ACH credit transactions. Corrections from one ALC to a different ALC can only be made through the return of the transaction and resending to the correct ALC.
Credit Gateway Account Correction Forms will no longer be accepted by the Credit Gateway Customer Care area.
CKey or TAS/BETC reclassification of transactions needed are performed in the ‘Classification, Transaction, and Accountability (CTA)’ module in the Central Accounting Reporting System (CARS).
If you need help gaining access to the CTA module, please contact the Treasury Support Center (TSC) at GWA@STLS.frb.org or at 877-440-9476.
If you need help with processing the CTA in CARS, please contact the Cash Accounting Branch at CAB.CARD.FA@fiscal.treasury.gov.
Please contact the Credit Gateway at creditgateway@fiscal.treasury.gov with any questions about this operational change.
