While the Office of the Treasurer continues to promote use of direct deposit in lieu of checks to enhance safety and efficiency, we would like to clarify for the Penn community the services available for cashing Penn (payroll and accounts payable) checks, which are drawn on Mellon Bank. Following the sale in 2002 of Mellon's branch bank network to Citizens Bank, Mellon arranged for Citizens to assume certain customer services it previously provided. As a result, Citizens Bank cashes (with no fee) University of Pennsylvania checks up to $5,000 for Penn employees regardless of whether or not an employee has an account at Citizens Bank. Mellon maintains a limited number of "private wealth" offices in the Delaware Valley. These offices serve as investment management/brokerage firms to Mellon's private wealth offices, and are not set up as bank branches. Therefore, if a Penn check is presented at a Mellon private wealth office by a Penn employee who is not a Mellon private wealth customer, these offices will charge a $5 processing fee. Contact Lucy Momjian or Helen Kreider in the Office of the Treasurer (215) 898-9844 should you have any questions on this. --Office of the Treasurer
