Deposits for Credit
- Many departments across the different system campuses accept funds for deposit. These monies must be processed according to the Finance Policies.
- Please be aware of a few specific rules that may pertain to your department's processing of receipts:
Written Authorization Required - Only the Office of the Treasurer has the authority to establish bank accounts in the name of the ¾Ã²ÝÈȾòÝÊÓÆµ of Missouri. The recommendation of Campus Business Services and authorization of the Office of the Treasurer is required for an individual or unit to deal directly with a bank for the purpose of:
1. Making credit deposits.
2. Making safekeeping deposits.
3. Exchanging checks for cash.
Individuals or units not authorized to deal directly with a depository bank must conduct their banking business with the Campus Cashiers Office.
The Campus Division of Finance is responsible for determining the circumstances under which the use of guards, ¾Ã²ÝÈȾòÝÊÓÆµ Police escorts, or armored car service is required. These services are typically used when a deposit contains amounts of coins and currency of $500 or greater. A system of locked bags or containers, receipts and communications should be used. (Finance Policies)
Any deposit greater than $500,000 should be reported IMMEDIATELY via email to the Treasurer's Office NO LATER THAN 2 PM in order to insure sufficient collateral at the depository bank. Please send email to UM VP FA Cash Management.
