Line 1, Cheque Image Exchange Services

The Receiver General (RG) is looking to acquire the services of a contractor who will help the RG move to Image Captured Payment (ICP) exchange, which is being adopted across the Canadian payments industry. Today, cashed RG cheques or clearing replacement documents are shipped by Canadian Direct Clearers from their processing sites to the RG’s office in Matane, QC where they are reconciled. The move to ICP file exchange will eliminate the requirement to ship physical cheques to the RG office in Matane by replacing the cheques with image files captured according to Payments Canada’s ICP standards.

The Contractor will be responsible for the services related to the processing of ICP files of cashed RG cheques received from Canadian Direct Clearers including:
-Accepting incoming ICP files from the Direct Clearers
-Processing ICP files and then transmitting redeemed item data to the RG
-Maintaining an image archive of cashed RG cheques
-Providing a facility for Government employees to have real time access to search, view, and print images

The term of the Contract will be for a period of 5 years with the option to extend up to an additional 3 years.
