A. Opening of Bank Account at Chase

Our fiscal policies require Board approval before opening any bank account. First Republic, our current bank, has been in the headlines in relation to the collapse of the Silicon Valley bank. To ensure maximum stability of our financial assets, S. Park is proposing opening a bank account at Chase, which offers the maximum level of protection in such scenarios.

ExED provided a roadmap for this transition in order to ensure it is a smooth transition allowing us to meet payroll and any other pending expenses.
