NOTICE: ACH Bank Account Transition

9/26/2024

 
Important Information

Over the next six months, we will be moving our Automated Clearing House (ACH) operations from JP Morgan to Axos Bank. To ensure a smooth transition, both JP Morgan and Axos Bank accounts will run simultaneously until March 2025.

Please note that no action is required for any ACH transactions processed through Axos Advisor Services.
  • This covers both one-time and recurring systematic transactions on the Liberty platform.
  • This is also inclusive of any ACHs manually processed by the Axos Advisor Services Operations team on your behalf.
  • Our wire instructions remain unchanged.
 
Below are our new bank instructions for ACH transactions:
  • Bank Name: Axos Bank
  • Account Number: 890000058705
  • ABA Number: 122287251
  • Instructions: In ACH PPD transaction field #7, enter the 6-digit Axos Advisor Services account number, followed by a space, then the first ten characters of the account holder’s last name.
    Example: 123456 SMITH

Action is required only when your clients initiate ACH transactions from an external institution.
In these instances, you and your clients have until March 2025 to update their instructions based on the new bank information above.

Your Client Service Advocate will notify you in the coming weeks if you have any clients who need to act.

Transfer Request Form Update: We are revising the second page of our Transfer Request form to incorporate the new ACH instructions.

NOTICE: IRA Withholding Notice and Election Notification to End Investors

9/5/2024

 
Federal income tax regulations require IRA account holders to be informed of their right to waive or elect a different withholding rate prior to taking a distribution. To comply with these regulations, Axos will send an IRA Withholding Notice and Election to end investors bi-annually.

Who will receive the notice?
  • All end investors with an open or closing IRA account.

Is there any action required?
  • No action is required if an end investor wants to maintain their current tax withholding election.
  • If no withholding election is made, the default holding rate will be used at the time of distribution.
  • Investors may use the IRA Withholding Notice and Election to revoke or change their previous election at any time.
  • Axos will only store returned tax withholding information for end investors with an established systematic distribution.

When will the notices be mailed?
  • Notices will be mailed the first week of September 2024, and bi-annually thereafter.

How is tax withholding handled for non-systematic distributions?
  • For all types of distributions, tax withholding can be elected at the time of distribution on the distribution form.

A copy of the IRA Withholding Notice and Election can be found HERE for your reference.
