Signature Guarantee

A signature guarantee is required by all transfer agents before a member can sell, redeem, or otherwise transfer securities that are registered in the member's name. DCCU's participation in this program allows the Credit Union to enhance our service to our members by providing convenience and the peace of mind that comes from doing business with someone you trust.

In order to successfully perform a signature guarantee, our staff must be able to ensure that you are: (1) the appropriate person to sign to request the transaction, (2) acting within your legal capacity to sign the transaction request form, and that (3) your signature is genuine. In order to expedite the guarantee process please bring the following: (1) Your valid, unexpired photo ID (2) A document proving your ownership of the security you wish to sell, redeem, or transfer, (3) any other documents (e.g. Power of Attorney, Qualification of Fiduciary) that demonstrates your legal capacity to act on the account, (4) any and all joint owners of the security, as they will also need to sign. The joint owners must also present identification.

DCCU can perform signature guarantees on transactions up to $500,000. If your transaction is larger than this, please contact the issuer of your security, or the transfer agent through whom the transaction will be processed to request assistance in finding another local signature guarantor to handle your request. You may be able to obtain this service from your financial planner or stockbroker.

For your convenience, DCCU has signature guarantors at all offices. To ensure prompt and accurate service, please call ahead to the office you would like to visit.
