X9.144-202x, Legal Record Requests (new standard)
In todays environment, subpoenas are served in multiple formats by federal, state, and local government agencies and law firms. These documents are served via mail, email, fax, or physically served to the bank. When the bank receives the orders the process for responding and fulfilling the order is highly manual, time consuming, and prone to errors, and there are limited areas where automation is applied. In most cases, the basic types of information required for processing are the same across the different request types. By creating a set of standards for electronic file formats for the different request types, benefits will be realized by both the subpoena requester and responder through automation.

X9.147-202x, Account Verification Requests Exchange (new standard)
In today’s environment audit confirmations (customer-authorized requests for account data for use in a customer sponsored independent audit), deposit verifications and account verifications are highly manual and are delivered in multiple formats by through many different channels (direct, third party vendor, etc.).Developing a data exchange that could map directly to a financial institution’s deposit system has the potential to almost fully automate this activity and provide expedited service to the end customer, and the services the products and services they are attempting to acquire through these verifications. This could also dramatically decrease the impact to the financial institution during audit peak season.
