Online viewing of quarterly statements available

The Endowment Trust Fund System (ETFS) service allows primary representatives to 1) view a trust account’s quarterly statements for the past three years, 2) view current account balance and 3) view recent transactions.

It is a three-step process to setup your ETFS service. There are screen shots of the steps shown in the user manual below that is easy to follow. The process is:

1. Register for a Secure Access Washington (SAW) You will receive an auto-generated email from SAW once your account is set up.
2. Submit a scanned copy of the ETFS Access Request Form to the email address on the form. You will receive an email from ITARS Mail once the logistics setup is completed. This takes a few days to process.
3. After the two confirmation emails are received, go to SAW, login, click on the “add a new service” button, click on the “I would like to browse a list of services by agency” button, click on the “Department of Commerce” button, scroll to the “Endowment Trust Fund System” (ETFS), and select “apply” to add it to your SAW account services. You will receive an auto-generated welcome email from SAW for the ETFS service.
4. Three steps and three email confirmations later, you can go to Secure Access Washington (SAW), login, and click on the ETFS service to view the trust account information 24/7/365.
