Newsflash: New EFT Form

November 30, 2021

We’ve updated our Request to Initiate/Change EFT of Annuity Payment form 11426. You’ll see new options to accommodate financial institutions and accept supporting documentation.

As you’re filling out the form, be sure to complete all sections and attach the documentation requested in section 2. Missing documentation is the most common reason for delays in setting up an electronic funds transfer.

 

New EFT Form

 

Download forms from our website each time you need them to ensure you’re using the most current versions:

  1. Start at standard.com/annuities.
  2. Select your distributor in the left-side drop-down menu. Or select “not affiliated with a distributor or distributor not listed.”
  3. Choose the Find Forms and Materials button to search for the forms you need.
