I want my dividends deposited to my bank account.
Direct Deposit eliminates the risk of lost checks and gives you immediate access to your dividends on the dividend payment date. It's easy to set up. Just Contact Us. We'll mail you the form and instructions you'll need to sign up for this convenient service.

States consider property, such as stocks, "abandoned" if there's no written contact such as sale or purchase of shares, negotiation of dividend checks or voting your proxy for a specific period. Depending on the state, the period of lost contact ranges from three to seven years. After property is abandoned, it must be turned over to your state.

Typically, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company sends out notices six months before the stock or dividends must be turned over to the state.

To prevent your property being deemed "abandoned" and turned over to the state, all you have to do is sign and return the notice to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Please make sure your address is current.
