00:00:10.391 --> 00:00:12.483
Hello and welcome to TreasuryDirect.

2
00:00:12.888 --> 00:00:16.801
Do you need to update your bank
account on file or add a new account?

3
00:00:17.274 --> 00:00:20.782
This video will discuss the process
to change your bank account.

4
00:00:21.187 --> 00:00:24.898
To find the bank accounts on file
within your TreasuryDirect account.

5
00:00:25.236 --> 00:00:30.236
You will navigate to the ManageDirect tab
on the left hand side of the screen.

6
00:00:30.904 --> 00:00:34.345
There will be a link
titled Update My Bank Information.

7
00:00:35.020 --> 00:00:36.842
Here you will see all of the bank

8
00:00:36.842 --> 00:00:39.878
accounts currently
saved to your TreasuryDirect account.

9
00:00:40.755 --> 00:00:43.927
On this page
you can delete any accounts on file

10
00:00:43.927 --> 00:00:47.638
if needed, by selecting the bank account
you wish to delete

11
00:00:47.773 --> 00:00:51.012
and then clicking the Delete Button
on the bottom of the screen.

12
00:00:51.754 --> 00:00:54.723
Note, that you cannot delete
your Primary Bank Account

13
00:00:54.993 --> 00:00:59.042
as you need to have at least one bank
account on file in TreasuryDirect.

14
00:00:59.986 --> 00:01:02.348
In order to make a change to your bank
account.

15
00:01:02.550 --> 00:01:06.464
you will click the add button.
For security purposes

16
00:01:06.464 --> 00:01:09.501
TreasuryDirect will ask you
one of your security questions.

17
00:01:13.347 --> 00:01:16.181
Once you have successfully answered
your security question,

18
00:01:16.451 --> 00:01:20.162
you will be able to fill in banking
information, complete

19
00:01:20.162 --> 00:01:23.806
all of the fields, ensuring
you are putting in the correct bank name,

20
00:01:24.278 --> 00:01:26.370
nine digit routing number,

21
00:01:26.370 --> 00:01:29.744
the account number
including any leading zeros,

22
00:01:30.891 --> 00:01:33.927
the name on the account,
which can be one person,

23
00:01:34.197 --> 00:01:37.436
and the account type, either
checking or savings.

24
00:01:38.313 --> 00:01:42.362
You can elect to make this bank account
your primary account on file,

25
00:01:42.564 --> 00:01:45.668
which means it will become
the first option when you attempt

26
00:01:45.668 --> 00:01:49.379
to purchase a security
or during the redemption process.

27
00:01:50.324 --> 00:01:54.103
Any other bank accounts will be available
still just underneath

28
00:01:54.103 --> 00:01:56.802
the primary account in the dropdown menu.

29
00:01:57.881 --> 00:02:00.041
Once you have entered
all of the information,

30
00:02:00.108 --> 00:02:02.807
you can click the Submit button.

31
00:02:02.807 --> 00:02:06.721
When you submit the banking information,
it will go through a third party

32
00:02:06.721 --> 00:02:10.567
verification process
to ensure that the account you are adding

33
00:02:10.567 --> 00:02:14.076
is valid and connected
to the customer name on file.

34
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.125
If the information is able to be verified,

35
00:02:18.394 --> 00:02:19.474
the new bank account

36
00:02:19.474 --> 00:02:23.253
will appear in your TreasuryDirect
account and can be used right away

37
00:02:23.253 --> 00:02:26.154
to make purchases
or to redeem your security.

38
00:02:27.166 --> 00:02:31.620
If any of the information is unable
to be verified, you will be allowed

39
00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:34.791
to attempt to change the bank account
two additional times.

40
00:02:35.534 --> 00:02:37.693
If, after the third attempt,

41
00:02:37.693 --> 00:02:41.741
the banking information
cannot be verified, a hold will be placed

42
00:02:41.741 --> 00:02:45.115
on that specific bank account
and it will not be used.

43
00:02:45.790 --> 00:02:48.759
You will receive an email
with additional information

44
00:02:48.826 --> 00:02:52.335
and a link to the FS Form 5512,

45
00:02:54.157 --> 00:02:56.114
which will need to be filled out,

46
00:02:56.114 --> 00:03:00.770
signed, certified and mailed
into the Treasury Retail Security Site

47
00:03:00.972 --> 00:03:03.132
in order for the bank account
to be updated.

48
00:03:04.616 --> 00:03:07.450
Another option
available to you is to call the TreasuryDirect

49
00:03:07.450 --> 00:03:12.450
Customer Service Phone number
844-284-2676.

50
00:03:14.738 --> 00:03:17.504
Select option four on the first menu,

51
00:03:17.976 --> 00:03:21.890
then option one on the second menu
to reach a customer service

52
00:03:21.890 --> 00:03:25.669
representative that can assist you
in adding your bank account.

53
00:03:26.344 --> 00:03:27.491
And that's it.

54
00:03:27.491 --> 00:03:31.269
That is the process for adding a bank
account to TreasuryDirect.
