MEMORANDUM FOR: Write Your Own (WYO) Company Principal Coordinators And 
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Servicing Agent 
FROM: Edward L. Connor 
Acting Federal Insurance Administrator 
National Flood Insurance Program 
SUBJECT: Transferring Excess Funds 
Originally, the NFIP had established with Bank of America a lockbox that allowed WIRE 
and Automated Clearinghouse payments to be deposited and transferred to the Treasury. 
In order for the NFIP to assist Treasury in a Government wide change in the receipt of 
electronic payments, the following procedures take effect immediately. 
Excess funds may be remitted using one of three methods: 
Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) - Excess funds being sent by ACH must be directed to 
the U.S. Treasury ABA number 051036706 for FEMA account number 540035. Attached 
are instructions for remitting funds via ACH. 
Wire - Large dollar funds transfers may be sent by wire to the New York Federal Reserve 
Bank via FEDWIRE. The attached includes instructions for payments by wire. 
Credit card - The ongoing pay.gov option is available for credit card payments. 
Please begin to remit payments immediately based on these guidelines in order to prevent 
your payment being rejected upon closure of the account at Bank of America.
