00:00:17.588 --> 00:00:21.695
This video will discuss the process
to change your bank account on file.

00:00:24.909 --> 00:00:28.480

Clicking on the Add or Edit
button will bring you to this screen,

8
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.283
which explains that to provide better
security, you must complete FS Form

00:00:44.283 --> 00:00:47.676

00:00:54.997 --> 00:00:58.032

00:01:18.388 --> 00:01:21.602

00:01:22.227 --> 00:01:26.513
If you are not planning to immediately
redeem, you can leave this section blank.

18
00:01:27.584 --> 00:01:31.959
Section 3 is where you will enter

00:01:32.584 --> 00:01:36.869
enter the name of the bank,
the nine-digit ABA routing number,

20
00:01:37.316 --> 00:01:40.619

00:01:51.511 --> 00:01:54.190
it must allow ACH credit and debits.

00:01:55.351 --> 00:01:58.118
Use this checkbox to indicate

26
00:01:58.118 --> 00:02:00.886
to make this your primary bank account
in TreasuryDirect.

27
00:02:01.243 --> 00:02:04.814
Or leave it blank if you want to leave it
as a secondary account.

00:02:05.975 --> 00:02:07.850

00:02:07.850 --> 00:02:10.975

00:02:14.814 --> 00:02:18.385
accounts, such as conversion

32
00:02:18.921 --> 00:02:22.224
or choose to list specific accounts
you would like to update.

33
00:02:23.296 --> 00:02:24.724
You can add a second bank

34
00:02:24.724 --> 00:02:26.867

35
00:02:28.652 --> 00:02:31.509
Section 4 requires you
to sign the form in the presence

36
00:02:31.509 --> 00:02:35.616
of a certifying officer and fill
in all the identifying information.

37
00:02:36.331 --> 00:02:40.170
The certifying officer must verify
your identity, certify

38
00:02:40.170 --> 00:02:43.919
the signature and will affix a seal
or stamp on the form.

39
00:02:44.634 --> 00:02:47.580
Note that Notary, Circular 888,

40
00:02:47.848 --> 00:02:50.705

Treasury recognized medallion
stamps, endorsement guaranteed stamps,

43
00:03:00.079 --> 00:03:02.133
or a signature guaranteed stamp.

44
00:03:02.758 --> 00:03:07.579
Example of these can be found on Page five
of the form in the Instructions section.

45
00:03:09.097 --> 00:03:11.954
Once the form is filled out,
signed and certified,

46
00:03:12.221 --> 00:03:14.721
you will mail it to the address
listed on the form.

47
00:03:15.346 --> 00:03:18.114
You will receive an email
informing you of the bank

48
00:03:18.114 --> 00:03:21.953
account update once
the process is completed. And that's it.

49
00:03:22.132 --> 00:03:25.703
That is how you update your bank account
in your TreasuryDirect Account.
