Hey brethren,
I'm the stake finance clerk and we do everything through LCR. We had to give a security deposit for the location of a stake level campout. It's time to get the securty deposit back now, and the campground owner is asking for the bank account number of the Church to refund the deposit. I can't find anything on how to proceed with this. How can we get the deposit money back into the stake budget, rather than church headquarters (assuming we can even find the bank account number - again we do everything through LCR)?

Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks

lf you made the deposit using a check then the refund should be appropriately made using a check. Since the check was written by the stake then the refund check should be made payable to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This does not require a bank account number.

I suspect the campground owner does not use checks and is looking for the easiest method for them. In this case an electronic funds transfer. Unfortunately that transaction method is not available for most unit and stake level transactions. This should be explained to the campground owner. They may be willing to get a bank draft, cashier's check, from their bank.

Without someone else coming up with a solution that worked for them then calling the global service department (GSD) and asking them may be your best source of information.
