Need some advice on what to do, Society clubs and Treasury account

sweeten16

Hello,

Currently been elected new treasurer of my universities boxing society. Its been a right nightmare trying to get the bank account current account holder changed. The former treasurer is back home 200 miles away and I cant get hold of the other person on the account! Seems to have gone AWOL. I have gotten the former treasurer to send me down his part of the signed forms, but I need the other person to sign the same form! Cant get hold of him!

Would it be possible to open up a new treasurer account relatively easy and then just transfer the money in the old account over?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Was he a former student at the University? If so, is there an Alumni Association that might provide an address/contact number?

Fairly easy to open up a new account but how would you transfer the money from the old account?

Have you checked that you can not change the name with authorisation of the board of the club or something. I am sure that was an option when I changed with RBS a couple of years ago.

There are procedures for this.
Usually the bank want; copy of your constitution, minutes from the AGM showing who has been elected to the positions, filling in the correct form to state that you don't have previous signatories
