To encourage participation in the direct deposit program, National Bank of Alaska and Wells Fargo are offering a special CIRI shareholder interest rate on Cash Management Checking Accounts when you are signed up for direct deposit of your CIRI dividends. With the Cash Management Checking Account you earn a competitive rate of interest and can write occasional checks for a monthly fee of just $5.50 (fee is waived with a minimum monthly balance of $1,000). You are allowed three third-party checks, three pre-authorized debits, and unlimited transactions in person, by mail or ATM.

To open a Cash Management Checking Account, all you need to do is fill out, sign, and return a signature card, which can be obtained through National Bank of Alaska or Wells Fargo. (Please note that you must be an owner of the Cash Management Checking Account that is designated for direct deposit of your CIRI distributions. CIRI cannot deposit your dividends to another individual's account.)

If you choose to open a Cash Management Checking Account, in addition to the signature card, you must be signed up for CIRI's Direct Deposit Program or complete an Authorization for Direct Deposit of Dividends Form - leaving the bank account and routing numbers blank. Those numbers will be provided to CIRI by National Bank of Alaska and Wells Fargo. National Bank of Alaska and Wells Fargo will also provide confirmation of account set up to you.
