Opening New Guardianship Accounts

Note: Fiduciary accounts cannot be Savings Club accounts. 

Do not open an account or accept an application if you cannot form a reasonable belief that you know the true identity of the person seeking to open an account.

ALL legal documents for guardianship accounts MUST be reviewed by Call Me Direct (CMD) for approval before proceeding with opening or revising an account. Guardianship accounts can be opened for established CCB clients (ward ONLY) after review by Call Me Direct.  

Once documents are obtained, do the following:

  1. Scan and email all documents to _Call Me Direct to review.
  2. Call Me Direct reviews the documents and takes one of the following actions:
    • Approves the account opening or change
      • If the documents are approved, CMD completes a Document Review Coversheet and emails the associate opening/revising the account.  
      • The Document Review Coversheet from CMD MUST be imaged with account documents.
        • Note: MUST have account number written in the top right corner.


To open a new guardianship account, do the following:
