General Instructions
About the surveys
The Federal Reserve Network, Processor, and Issuer Payments Surveys (NPIPS) will support research on electronic
payment transactions, including ACH, credit card, debit card, prepaid card, and emerging payment transactions. The
objective of this research is to measure the volume and value of electronic payments originated from U.S.-domiciled
accounts during the calendar year 2012. The Federal Reserve will compare aggregate results from this 2013 study to
those of previous studies conducted in 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2010 to document how the U.S. payments system is
changing.

Your participation
To achieve the most reliable results, it is important that you respond completely and accurately. Please leave no survey
item blank.

General instructions for numeric fields
There are three possible ways to answer a survey question that requests a numeric value:
Enter the amount: The actual numeric value of the data element.
Enter a zero: When the calculated amount actually equals zero or if the amount does not exist (i.e. your
organization does not have volume for the item requested). Please do not enter a non-numeric value, e.g. “NA”
or “NR.”
Enter “NR” (not reported): If your organization has volume of the type being measured, but you do not know it,
or cannot accurately estimate the amount. Please do not enter “NA.”
If for any reason you cannot provide complete data, or if you have other questions or concerns, please
contact:
