Signature Guarantee Service

"Signature Guarantee" is a free service provided to members at any VyStar Branch to assist in the purchase, sale or transfer of their stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other securities. To allow securities transactions, a signature must be "guaranteed" for the benefit of the member's stockbroker or other financial representative. We follow strict guidelines when guaranteeing a signature, using the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP) certification to ensure that the guaranteed signature is covered within the monetary limits of our bond. Our bond company limits this service to our being able to guarantee signatures for only VyStar members. To help facilitate the signature guarantee, VyStar members must provide the following:

  1. VyStar account information.
  2. Government issued picture ID (driver's license, state ID, Military ID, etc.) and one other form of ID.
  3. A copy of your recent account statement from the brokerage firm or financial institution where your securities are held. If more than one person is listed on the security or the brokerage account, then all persons listed should be present to have their signatures guaranteed.
  4. A letter from your brokerage firm or financial institution on their company letterhead requesting the signature guarantee.

Signature guarantees are only used with securities. If you have any questions about our signature guarantee, please contact us at 777-6000 or 800-445-6289, option 9 or stop by a VyStar Branch.

Note: A free notary service is available for other types of documents.
