Complete the form on your computer. Then print and sign the form, attach a voided check, and send it to the service center nearest you or submit it online.
After we receive and process the form, we’ll mail a paper confirmation to the address on the account. For your security, a 10-calendar day waiting period goes into effect at this time. This gives you the opportunity to review the confirmation — and contact us in the unlikely event you did not authorize the request.
At the end of the waiting period, you’ll see your bank account(s) listed when selling shares online.
Note: Some accounts, including ABLEAmerica, are not eligible to sell shares online.
Before you get started, have a check or your bank information on hand.

Once you’ve submitted your information, you can purchase shares immediately using your linked account(s).
