Dear Partner:

As announced last year by PetSmart Charities, Inc. enrollment in our EFT (electronic funds transfer) program is MANDATORY. The program will allow us to facilitate electronic, direct deposits for all payments. Accordingly, effective immediately we will no longer issue checks for adoption rewards, emergency relief and grant payments. EFT transfers will be made through the Automated Clearing House and, as a result, will be governed by the National Automated Clearing House Association rules.

The EFT program will be administered by PetSmart, Inc. on behalf of PetSmart Charities, Inc. We believe that you will benefit from having payments deposited directly to your bank account, with funds available for immediate use – a win-win for all parties involved.

To enroll in the EFT program:

  • Contact your bank to discuss receiving direct deposit and ensure that your account can receive payment via CTX format.
  • Read and complete the attached Authorization for Electronic Funds Transfer form in full and return it via:
  • E-mail to or ; or
  • Fax to 623-321-6158.
  • When the funds are deposited, you will receive a confirmation e-mail from us. Please specify the e-mail address in the space provided on the enclosed Authorization for Electronic Funds Transfer form.
  • Provide us with a voided check from the bank account that will be receiving the funds.

Once you have started receiving funds via direct deposit, please contact us if you have any problems receiving deposits or if your bank informationhas changed

If you have any questions or need more information about the EFT program, please do not hesitate to contact Marian Bryk at 623-587-2281 or . If you have questions about your rewards payments, contact Larry Johnson at . Questions about grants may be directed to Brenda Najera at 623-587-2312 or .

Sincerely,
