Overview
A Letter of Indemnification is to be used when an account holder with Capital City Bank (CCB) requests a Capital City Bank office(s) to cash non-CCB checks for their employees.
Our Letter of Indemnification has been edited and approved by our law firm to hold CCB harmless should a loss be incurred as a result of cashing these checks.
Procedures
Prior to contacting Retail Support to obtain approval for non-CCB checks to be cashed in an office(s), the following steps are to be followed:
- The Client Experience Manager (CXM) must contact their Regional Experience Manager (RXM) and have a conversation about the client and decide whether to escalate the request.
- The RXM must speak with the Market President to determine if the request is valid.
- If the President agrees the request is valid, the President is required to contact their appropriate Senior Manager.
- If approved by the Senior manager to move forward, the Senior Manager must e-mail _SupportU approving the request.
- Once received, Retail Support contacts the CXM for the necessary information as brought out in the Letter of Indemnification, including:
- Company name
- Company location (City and State)
- Name of the bank the checks will be drawn on
- Bank account number the checks will be drawn on
- CCB offices where the checks will be cashed
- Documentation providing the individual signing the Letter of Indemnification is authorized to do so (for example: Articles of Organization, Articles of Incorporation, or Partnership Agreement).
- When Retail Support receives this information, a copy of the Letter of Indemnification is e-mailed to the requesting CXM to obtain the proper signatures.
- The letter can be emailed or mailed to the appropriate requesting individual for a signature. The letter with an original signature must be returned to _SupportU for record retention and safekeeping.
- Once the letter is received by Retail Support, the requesting CXM and the applicable offices are informed and may then proceed to cash the non-CCB checks which fall into the criteria set forth in the Letter of Indemnification.
- The letter is valid for one year from the date approved by Retail Support.
- The approval to cash the non-CCB checks is based on whether the Company is willing to sign the Capital City Bank Letter of Indemnification.
Renewal Process
It is the offices responsibility to e-mail _SupportU prior to its expiration date to obtain a new Letter of Indemnification for signing by the client.
