TCH Status page

The page displays the participants that can be signed on to or signed off from the The Clearing House (TCH) network.

The sign-on and sign-off actions send a request to FTM for Immediate Payments, which then signs the participant on to or off from the TCH network. When Approvals is enabled for these actions, the requests are sent to Immediate Payments after the Approvals review completes.
