DIRECT DEPOSIT LETTERS

The office mailed producers without direct deposits on file a letter explaining that producers should enroll in direct deposit with your financial institution.  It’s a simple process to enroll into direct deposit - complete a form and have either your financial institution complete the routing and account information or give the office a voided check.
