Fedwire® Services Testing Opportunities
The Federal Reserve Banks recognize that widely available and reliable testing is an essential component of Fedwire Services. To meet this need, we operate the Depository Institution Testing (DIT) environment on a daily basis Monday through Friday and select Saturday, and a second DIT environment (DIT 2) dedicated to special testing such as ISO 20022, which is available Monday through Friday. In addition, on selected Saturdays, the production environment is available for customer testing. For questions about testing, please contact our Wholesale Testing Services.
The FedLine Direct® Message Environment and Configuration Change Matrix identifies the appropriate steps, lead times, and schedules to test changes you wish to make to your FedLine Direct environment.
The following types of test are available:
Depository Institution Testing (DIT) Environments
- 2025 Testing Schedule – DIT
- 2025 Testing Schedule – DIT 2
- Weekday Testing Schedule
- Saturday DIT Schedule
- Disruptive Testing
- DIT Hours of Operation

Contingency Post Test Survey
We encourage participating organizations to provide feedback on their testing experience at the conclusion of these tests. The survey will help the Federal Reserve Banks to ensure that we continue to provide the highest level of support during these tests.
