4-H Bank Signature Card
2014 - 2015

4-H Units may have a bank account for the handling of funds. As part of the USDA and University system, all funds raised as part of 4-H are in public trust and are considered University funds. Locally the funds are controlled by the members of the club through the officers and club leaders. Banks have become more stringent in approvals, signatures and account information. Due to this many banks may not let youth be “official” signers on accounts. To meet both the bank and the University requirements for 4-H accounts the follow will apply.

“Official” Bank signers:
This should include the Club Leader and at least one other 4-H volunteer. Others may be included if the bank allows. These are the signatures that the bank recognizes for check approval. While many banks may only require one signature per check, the University requires two signatures on all 4-H checks. The second signature may be a 4-H member/officer who is not listed as an official bank signer.
List below the persons who will be the official bank signers for your club this year and submit to UCCE 4-H office.

4-H Approved Account Signers:
Those members (treasurer, president, etc.) who will be co-signing the checks will meet the university requirements for a second signature. The banks are fine with having a second signature on the check, just that one must be an “Official“ bank signer.
The club treasurer may still maintain the checking account, balance statements, make deposits, write checks, etc. Just be sure that at least one “official “ bank signer also signs the checks.
List below the Club officers or others who are approved by the club to co-sign club checks.
