            (File Nos. 33-74230 and 811-08294)
            ---------------------------------------

Dear Sir or Madam:

      On behalf of AB Government Exchange Reserves (the "Fund"), we are
transmitting a certification pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. In this regard, we certify that the Prospectus for the Fund
that would have been filed under Rule 497(c) does not differ from that included
in the most recent post-effective amendment to the Fund's registration
statement. The post-effective amendment was filed electronically with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2016.

      A copy of the Statement of Additional Information for the Fund will be
filed under Rule 497(c) today.

      Please call me at the above-referenced number if you have any questions
regarding the attached.

                                                          Very truly yours,


                                                          /s/ Anna C. Weigand
