How do I deliver securities?
That depends on the type of security. Please see our online delivery instructions for specifics.

What are your deadlines?
The deadlines vary according to the type of security. For detailed information, consult our Safekeeping Settlement/Maturity page.

How do I update who in my institution can do safekeeping transactions with the Bank?
Just fill out a Correspondent Services Agreement (PDF), Corporate Resolution (PDF), and Safekeeping Delegation (PDF), and mail them back to us. If you already have a Correspondent Services Agreement and Corporate Resolution on file, you only need to complete the Safekeeping Delegation.

Can I execute trades via the Internet?
Yes. FHLB Direct — the Bank's online transaction and account-information service — offers you a secure mechanism to instruct the Bank to purchase and sell securities or transfer securities within your safekeeping accounts. If you are an existing FHLB Direct user, please see the Guide to FHLB Direct Services found in the User Information area of FHLB Direct.
