scope:

This standard specifies certain deposit ticket parameters to aid in the processing of personal size and business size deposit tickets through conventional bank deposit and imaging processes. While this standard does not establish a specific design, orientation and layout for bank deposit tickets, it does provide specifications for a range within which key design elements shall be placed. Other bank specific information is excluded from this standard.

This standard will improve the understanding of deposit tickets by providing background information that may be valuable in designing deposit tickets. It is hoped that the use of this standard will result in greater uniformity in several aspects of deposit ticket design that will improve the processing and handling of deposit tickets throughout the entire check processing system.

Purpose

This standard provides specifications and design examples for deposit tickets. The specifications support and comply with current technologies utilized for automated processing in the US Payments System. The primary users of this standard are expected to be financial institutions, designers, and printers of bank documents. Other interested parties will include developers of processing hardware equipment and software.
