Medallion Signature Guarantee

Financial institutions require a Medallion Signature Guarantee when it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the signature. A signature guarantee is a widely accepted way to protect customers and investment companies from the legal repercussions resulting from invalid or illegal endorsements.

Most people can obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, a broker, a dealer, a credit union (if authorized under state law), a securities exchange or association, a clearing agency, or a savings association.
