Authorized signers on a bank's own accounts
12/29/2024
I'm looking for some insight on bank controlled internal accounts (i.e. cashier's checks, accounts payable, interest disbursements, etc). I need to perform account maintenance and add signers to the accounts. Are there any compliance regulations that can help steer me in the right direction as to who in our institution should be signers on these accounts? For our cashier's checks, we are not limited to bank officers, so any employee with signing authority can sign a check, but they do not have access to the accounts outside of that. There has been debate about who should be on the accounts and if it needs to be those who are reconciling or processing funds.
