Stock Held in a Brokerage Account
Option 1: Electronic Transfer
- Instruct your broker to transfer shares electronically to Agnes Scott College. Our brokerage account is with SunTrust Bank.
- After instructing your broker to make the transfer, please e-mail Teresa Plum, manager of donor records, at tplum@agnesscott.edu so she can match your name with your gift when it arrives. You can also call her at 800 868-8602, ext. 6455.
- Please note that it typically takes two or three business days to complete an electronic stock transfer.
- Stock gifts by electronic transfer are credited to the donor the date the shares are received in the Agnes Scott brokerage account. The gift amount is the average market value on that day.
