Cash and checks: The Office of the State Treasurer strongly urges any state agency needing to make a deposit of cash or checks with the Treasury to do so directly at a Bank of America branch. Your agency will need to obtain a direct deposit receipt from the bank and include it with the cash receipt (CR) when you submit to the Treasury.

Electronic wires: If your agency has a federal wire deposit or other urgent electronic deposit, please email a PDF of your CR document to agencydeposit@aztreasury.gov. Wire deposits may not be processed until Tuesday, January 8, 2019.
