Final Steps

Before notifying your current bank to close your account or before changing any automatic payments:

    1. Get confirmation that your new Thrivent Bank account has been opened.
    2. Send notification to companies who make automatic withdrawals (PDF, 51K) from your account that you have a new bank account. Don't forget those accounts that might use your old debit card number, merchant services transactions, monthly insurance, or loan payments.
    3. Change accounts for payroll processing (PDF, 51K). Use this form to notify your payroll provider so that they can begin processing your payroll out of your new Thrivent Financial Bank account.
    4. Keep your new Thrivent Financial Bank routing and account numbers handy for direct deposit and automatic withdrawal requests. Our routing number is 075972147.

Business Deposit Account Agreement

Once your account is opened, a copy of the Business Deposit Account Agreement will be mailed to you.

Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006

The UIGEA, signed into law in 2006, prohibits any person engaged in the business of betting or wagering (as defined in the Act) from knowingly accepting payments in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling. The Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board have issued a joint final rule, Regulation GG, to implement this Act.

As defined in Regulation GG, unlawful Internet gambling means to "place, receive or otherwise knowingly transmit a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet where such bet or wager is unlawful under any applicable Federal or State Law in the State or Tribal lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received or otherwise made".

These restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through your commercial account or banking relationship with us. Thrivent Financial Bank will not open accounts for commercial customers engaged in any restricted transactions.

UNLAWFUL INTERNET GAMBLING NOTICE:

Restricted transactions as defined in Federal Reserve Regulation GG are prohibited from being processed through this account or relationship. Restricted transactions generally include, but are not limited to, those in which credit, electronic fund transfers, checks, or drafts are knowingly accepted by gambling businesses in connection with the participation by others in unlawful Internet gambling.

"In accordance with the requirements of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 and Regulation GG, this notification is to inform you that restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through your account or relationship with our institution. Restricted transactions are transactions in which a person accepts credit, funds, instruments or other proceeds from another person in connection with unlawful Internet gambling."
