"Our move to Wachovia Bank for Sears is scheduled to take place on June 2, 2008. The date for Kmart is not yet defined. We will communicate the transition date for Kmart as soon as it is available.
The original communication about this change was sent at the end of January, 2008. The details of this message, with updated date information, are as follows:
Effective June 2, 2008, we will be moving our bank payments for Sears from Harris Bank to Wachovia. The date for moving Kmart from Bank of New York to Wachovia is not yet defined.
You may notice several changes as a result of this move. Please make sure you have not hard coded any of this information into your current transactions or systems, as they will fail following our move to Wachovia.
The changes you will see are to the bank account numbers and routing numbers, the payer name in the 820, and you will receive your money from Wachovia. You may need to inform your bank of these changes to prevent any delay in the receipt of funds.
The new payer name will reflect Sears Holdings Management Corporation. Again, please make sure that this information is not hard coded in your 820, and that your company does not require any other internal changes to support the new routing and account numbers.
Reminder communication will be sent prior to the change over for Sears and again for Kmart. Frequently asked questions about this change are outlined below. Additional questions not addressed in this communication should be directed to Jennifer Ritorno, EDI Support Manager, jritorn@searshc.com.
