You are aware that not all types of accounts are eligible for external account transfers. Ineligible accounts may include IRAs, certificates, trusts, custodial accounts, corporate accounts and other types of accounts.

All External Account Transfers are subject to the rules and regulations of the other financial institution. You agree not to transfer any funds to an external account where the transfer would not be allowed under the rules and regulations of such accounts. Services and Access.
