Wires
Authorization
You should update your
Authorized Personnel Card when there
are any changes regarding the person(s)
you have authorized to perform
transactions with the Bank.
Please fill in the card completely.
The "Account Officer" serves a
two-fold purpose. This individual
will receive a "testkey table" on behalf of your
institution, as well as being the
first individual we call if there
are any problems regarding wire
transfers with your account and any
possible fraudulent activity. In the
event that we are unable to reach
your "Account Officer," your
"Reserve Account Officer" will be
contacted regarding any questions or
problems with wire transfer
activity. The boxes to the right of
each authorized individual must be
marked identifying exactly what wire
transfer function each person is
authorized to handle.
Caller Identification Number
Each individual authorized by your
institution on your FHLB Des Moines'
Signature Card will receive a
"Caller Identification Number"
(Caller ID) and PIN mailed directly
to them at the address stated on
your card. This Caller ID and PIN
number are to be
used only by the individual to whom
it has been issued. It should be
kept confidential at all times.
Testkey Number
When calling in an outgoing wire,
the caller must have their own
Caller ID,
as well as the test key.
Combining your "testkey table" with
your "PIN number" derives the "testkey"
number. Please have all delivery
instructions ready for the wire
staff to serve you as quickly as
possible.
Note: If you do not have a Caller
ID or Testkey, contact a member of the
Wire Transfer Administration Staff
at 800.544.3452, ext. 5414.
