RE: WebServicex.net Fed ACH Lookup by Routing Number

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Webservicex returning bogus data!?!? Oh my! You could code around the error but when they fix the service, it presents a problem for you.

This isn't a direct answer but a possible solution. The file is "relatively small" and available directly from the Fed. I believe you are looking for 
https://www.frbservices.org/EPaymentsDirectory/fpddir.txt

Download it and parse it into your file and access it directly.

Subject: WebServicex.net Fed ACH Lookup by Routing Number

I've been working on getting this web service to work and have found an interesting issue. I can validate the routing number (total records found = 1) but the information returned about the routing number is being returned into the wrong elements: the tag for Office Code is missing from the XML document, so that value is being returned in the next element, and so on for all subsequent values.

Has anyone seen this? Does anyone have a suggestion on another web service that would return the information properly? Thanks,
