In accordance with the Harvard University Corporation vote on banking, only certain designated Harvard employees within the Office of Treasury Management (OTM) are authorized to approve, open, make changes to, and close all bank accounts controlled by Harvard University entities. All bank accounts controlled by Harvard University entities must be reconciled on a monthly basis in accordance with the procedures section of this policy.

To request a new bank account, make changes to an existing account, or inquire about eligibility, please consult the detailed procedures document for opening, maintaining, reconciling or closing a bank account.
