HomeMy WebLinkAboutCDC Union Bank Schedule (Finance)Tab I - Conversion
A. Describe a conversion plan to transfer assets of the City and the CDC to your financial
institution. Please include a dollar amount that the bank will include as a "conversion
allowance" for the implementation and set up costs.
Union Bank places great emphasis on providing high -quality, personalized service to government
agencies. We place an equal importance on a seamless transition of banking services from other
financial institutions and have extensive experience at transitioning public agencies to Union
Bank. To ensure that you'll have a smooth transition to Union Bank, we will provide you with a
team of professionals who have in-depth knowledge of all operational aspects of our services.
This team, who is thoroughly versed in all operational aspects of the Bank's services, will support
you during and after the implementation process.
Union Bank will offer the City and CDC a $3,000.00 conversion allowance to mitigate the cost of
implementation, set-up costs for treasury management services and initial deposit and check stock
supplies.
The implementation plan will include the following phases and steps.
Implementation Team

• Define roles and responsibilities
• Develop and distribute a formal implementation plan to all parties
• Coordinate implementation meetings on an on -going basis
Documentation Preparation

Training

During the implementation and conversion phase, the Bank will provide the necessary training

proprietary products and services we implement for the customer. Any follow-up webinar or
telephone training coordinated and administered by our treasury management specialists is
provided at no cost to the City.

For Web services, training is generally completed via telephone because no software installation
is required. We provide WebEx online (Webinar) training led by Union Bank treasury
management specialists. These Webinars are designed to show the City how to use our online
services and how you can benefit from our cash management products' robust features. Webinars
are hosted daily, so the City can attend at your convenience, and last no more than an hour.

This sample implementation plan illustrates the major components required for the conversion of the City's banking services to Union
Bank. Upon award of the contract, the Bank will work with the City to develop a detailed and customized implementation plan to meet
your specific requirements. Throughout the City's relationship with the Bank, we will continue to provide training as needed.

B. What lead-time do you expect will be necessary before the conversion begins?
The services being used by the City and CDC can comfortably be converted to Union Bank
within 60 days. When the City notifies the bank of the award we will assemble our transition
team for an in -person meeting with the City's transition team for an initial implementation
meeting. Roles and responsibilities for the Bank and the City will be defined and new accounts
forms will be originated. A complete package of new account documentation will be created for
the City and new bank account numbers will be identified and delivered.
Implementation steps for treasury management services include:
• Receiving and completing the Terms and Conditions Agreement, Funds Transfer
Authorization, Master Funds Transfer Agreement and Security Procedures, and the Web wire
worksheet.
• Implementing your services based on your requirements
• Mailing the SecurlD tokens to you
• Scheduling an appointment for phone and/or on -site training (if necessary). Training is not
required for the Web channel.
• Scheduling testing which required for initiating wires. Testing time may vary depending on
format type.
• After the Bank receives and confirms the setup documentation, all steps are generally
completed within three to five business days, depending on the complexity of the
implementation. Transmission time may vary, depending on the transmission method
selected.
C. Indicate your plans for educating and training the City employees in the use of your
systems.
The Bank places a high level of attention on quality training of the City's personnel on an on-
going basis. We recommend City employees enroll in our Free Webinar training sessions that are
available throughout the month for all of our Web Treasury Management Services. When a web
user logs into the Online Business Center there is a convenient link to "Webinar" training. When
the user clicks on that link a calendar will open up that presents all the available product training
that is available for that month. Private Webinar training sessions can also be arranged for group
settings of City employees.
