  • GN 02402.361 Coding Jordan Bank Data on the Master Beneficiary Record (MBR)
  • This section describes how to code bank data for international direct deposit (IDD) of Title II benefits to a financial institution (FI) in Jordan. We store bank data on the MBR in the same fields used for United States (U.S.) direct deposit. Special coding identifies the data as a Jordan direct deposit and allows us to route benefit payments through the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (FRBKC) and the processor bank in Jordan to the beneficiary's FI. If you receive an IDD request in a U.S. domestic (i.e, non-border) field office (FO), forward all appropriate information to the Office of Earnings and International Operations (OEIO), Division of International Operations (DIO) to process.
  • A. Background for coding Jordan bank data
