To transfer funds to a new or existing (CD) Coverdell Education Savings Account (CESA), do the following:
- Discuss the investment options with the client depending on his/her investment amount. Individual Retirement Account (IRA) funds can only be deposited into a Certificate of Deposit or IRA Regular Savings account. The deposited amount must meet the minimum deposit for the CD or the minimum amount required for no service charge on a regular savings account. The client can choose his/her investment now or choose to be contacted when funds are received.
- Complete the Request for Transfer to a Coverdell Education Savings Account form sections 1–5. Section 3 details the transfer request information.
- If the client chooses a new designated beneficiary in the same family, list the name, social security number, and daytime phone number in section 3.
- If this contribution would establish a new CESA at Capital City Bank, complete a Coverdell Education Savings Account Custodial Agreement and open a new CESA.
- If this contribution is made to an existing CESA at CCB, complete the Coverdell Education Savings Account Contribution Instructions form and follow the procedure for contributing to a CESA. Note: The client chooses to complete this step now or when the funds are received from the financial institution.
- Mail a copy of the Request for Transfer to a Coverdell Education Savings account form along with all applicable documents to the financial institution. Include a Capital City Bank business reply envelope with the name of the Personal Banker and the office location clearly marked on its front.
- When the funds are received from the financial institution, run the entries for the transaction.

- Date
