Over the Counter Network (OTCnet)

OTCnet is a secure web-based application developed by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis for the U.S. Treasury. OTCnet was released to IRS on March 19, 2011. The OTCnet system integrates the functionality of Paper Check Conversion Over the Counter (PCCOTC) and Treasury General Account Deposit Report (TGAnet).

OTCnet will upgrade paper check conversion processing, so that it can be done end to end over the internet without the need for special software.

OTCnet will eventually replace CA$HLINK II.

Designated employees in the Accounting Operation DCF function will be Agency Viewers. As an Agency Viewer, you will be able to retrieve the confirmed deposits and adjustments, view and search prior deposits and adjustments, and view business reports. A viewer may not be assigned any other roles in OTCnet.

All OTCnet users must complete the training provided on the BFS OTCnet web site prior to being given access to OTCnet.

A web-based site to provide guidance and training can be found at the BFS OTCnet website at: OTCnet training website.

The OTCnet website will be the source of your training. The OTCnet Agency Viewer Manual should be used for instructions on accessing OTCnet, searching adjustments and viewing reports.
