STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION & FILING GUIDE

1. Customization: Open this document in your preferred word processor. Use the "Find and Replace" function to update all [Bracketed Fields] with the Company's specific data. Ensure the Bank Name and branch details are verified against the physical address of the target branch.
2. Verification of Authority: Before execution, verify against your Company’s Bylaws or Operating Agreement to ensure that a simple Board Resolution is sufficient for this administrative change. If your bylaws require a supermajority or a shareholder vote, include those minutes as an attachment.
3. Execution:
   • Print two (2) original copies.
   • Sign in wet ink if required by the bank’s internal policy, or execute via an e-signature platform (e.g., DocuSign, Adobe Sign). If using e-signatures, ensure the "Audit Trail" or "Certificate of Completion" is appended to the final PDF.
4. Bank Submission: Contact the Relationship Manager at the New Branch. Provide them with the signed resolution. Most banks will require a "Certified Extract" of these minutes on company letterhead.
5. Record Retention:
   • Place one original in the corporate minute book under the "Board Resolutions" tab.
   • Scan the signed version into your secure corporate document management system (DMS).
   • Maintain the document for the statutory period (typically 7 years) as per your internal document retention policy.
