Banking information is mandatory for all U.S. located entities to complete the Entity Registration. SAM.gov never releases banking information to the public in either its public search view or public data file. Sensitive information is only available to authorized U.S. government officials.

Agency financial offices receive registrant financial information from SAM.gov. Many agencies use entity registration information to make the registrant payments. When properly executed, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) makes for a faster, more efficient method of payment.

It is extremely important that you keep your information current in SAM.gov. If your registration expires while you are still under contract, some payments may stop. Again, it is very important to keep your information current and your registration active. This means that you must renew and re-validate your registration at least once every 365 days.

If you are a non-U.S. registrant doing business outside the U.S., then Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) information is not mandatory and you will receive a check via mail rather than via direct deposit.

Note: You must enter Remittance Address Information on this page. If you do have a U.S. bank account, you may provide your EFT regardless if you are a foreign registrant.
