FCC offers Direct Deposit of Dividend Distributions

First Community Corporation is pleased to offer Direct Deposit of dividend distributions. Direct Deposit safeguards against misplaced, lost, or stolen checks, and it helps you to receive your payments faster.

When you participate in Direct Deposit, funds are electronically transmitted to your account on the same day checks are mailed to shareholders without Direct Deposit.  There is no need to wait until your check arrives in the mail, and no need to make a trip to your bank.

Shareholders whose distributions are directly deposited should be sure that the name on the Direct Deposit Form matches the name on the bank account. Shareholders should also continue to update their addresses with the Bank and Pacific Stock Transfer (our Stock Transfer Agent).  Failure to do so typically results in First Community Corporation mail being returned as undeliverable. When this occurs, dividend distributions are held and may be turned over to the State as Unclaimed Property.
