Transfer Approval Process l l l When an account transfer is entered in Netx 360, it enters our work basket in Work Corner. The transfer request is opened and reviewed along with the paperwork that was submitted for the transfer. If there any issues, the rep’s office is contacted to discuss what is needed to get the request in good order. If there aren’t any issues, the paperwork is ‘attached’ to the request in the system and approved. It then goes to Pershing’s transfer department for review.
