Since 2017 the Federal Reserve has been working on its Cash Visibility Initiative. By tapping into supply chain logistics and best practices, this initiative created an approach that uses scanning technology to track cash shipments throughout the supply chain. One outcome of the Cash Visibility initiative is the electronic manifest known as the E-Manifest. The FedCash E-Manifest replaces the industry’s current use of paper manifests.
