Bureau Products and Services

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service offers a variety of collections, disbursing and reporting services to support federal financial management needs. These services help your agency to focus attention and resources on core missions, instead of redundant financial management tasks.

The majority of these services are utilized by federal agencies today-either they are required or are systems that support government-wide processes. Several, however, are value added services and promote efficiency, streamline processes and support expansion of electronic alternatives.
