Electronic Fund Transfer Payments

The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience uses an electronic payments system. This system allows us to transfer funds to our payees quickly and securely. The Fund’s payments are made via the Automated Clearing House (ACH), which is a secure network connecting all U.S. financial institutions. The ACH network acts as the central clearing facility for all U.S. Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) transactions, such as direct deposits, electronic payments, and debit-card payments.

To enroll in the new payment system, please complete the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Payment Authorization Agreement below. You may mail the form to the attention of Accounts Payable at the Endowment Fund’s office. If you prefer, you may fax the completed form to the attention of Accounts Payable at (612) 332-3833.

By submitting this information, you agree to allow The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience to remit your payment electronically. If your bank routing instructions change at any time, please be certain to inform us. Please be assured that your banking information will be protected and held in a secure location.

For questions regarding electronic payments, please refer to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) below. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact McKnight Foundation’s accounting team at accounting@mcknight.org.
