4. What is X9.100-181 ?

TIFF 6.0 acts as an image format scheme used between exchange financial institutions. However, TIFF is very flexible and is designed to accommodate a variety of uses. This flexibility can cause applications to experience problems.

The ANS X9.100-181 standard defines the most commonly supported and least problematic uses of TIFF fields and their values for the exchange of images. This standard does not change TIFF standard and only address G4 bilevel image (black/white) compressions within the TIFF 6.0. The ANS X9.100-181 standard helps efficient interoperable check image exchange among financial institutions.

5. What is Universal Companion Document (UCD) ?

Universal Companion Document (UCD) is a standard industry practice for using the DSTU X9.37-2003 standard to exchange ICL files. This document clarifies how financial institutions should use the standard to ensure all necessary and appropriate payment data is exchanged between collecting and paying institutions. All image exchange participants will obtain, use and adhere to the record and field usage definitions detailed in the DSTU X9.37-2003 standard.

6. What is DSTU X9.37- 2003 standard Image Cash Letter files of FRB ?

7. What is X9.100-187-2008 ?

X9.100-187-2008 replaces the use of DSTU X9.37 and establishes the basis for U.S. check image exchange involving settlement between two financial institutions. It fixes and clarifications identified in various industry companion documents associated with DSTU X9.37. It also establishes requirements and limitations that are compatible with current industry practice. However, this standard maintains flexibility in order to accommodate the needs of different institutions and exchange networks. It does not have the extent of flexibility contained in ANS X9.100-180 and is not intended to cover all types of image exchange.


This standard does not address operational, implementation, or settlement issues. These issues may include, but are not limited to, a choice of: data and image compression, encryption, and transmission specifications and data representation. The informative annexes attached to this standard provide information that may prove useful to those planning to implement the standard.

X9.100-187-2008-UCD is a standard industry practice for using the DSTU X9.100-187-2008 standard to exchange ICL files. The purpose of this document is to formalize an industry standard for check image exchange using the ANS X9.100-187-2008 standard format and a compilation of industry best practices.
