Navy Cash SOP Change Notice 2020-004 21 August 2020 

Subject: Navy Cash Card Issuance Requires a Linked U.S. Bank Account

Attention: Supply Officers / Disbursing Officers / Navy Cash Accountable Officers / Navy 

Cash Deputies 

1. Background. In a previous SOP change notice related to Visitor Cards, the procedure

stated that a linked U.S. bank account is required. During the rewrite of NAVSUP Pub 727, the

linked bank account for all enrollments requirement was not made clear. This change notice

mandates the use of a U.S. bank account for the issuance of all Navy Cash Instant Issue cards.

2. Disbursing Officer Action. Disbursing Officers enrolling new personnel in the Navy Cash

program are required to obtain and record accurate U.S. bank account information for all sailors,

civilians and contractor cardholders. Additionally, the supplemental contractor agreement form,

FS Form 2889, is mandatory for all contractors.

3. Official Change to Navy Cash SOP. This Navy Cash SOP Change Notice represents an

official change to the Navy Cash SOP (NAVSUP PUB 727). Each DO / Navy Cash

Accountable Officer shall retain a copy of all effective Navy Cash SOP Change Notices on file

for inspection with the current version of the SOP (see list of effective Navy Cash SOP change

notices immediately below).

4. List of Effective Navy Cash SOP Change Notices. Not applicable - this is the first change

notice issued since the publication of NAVSUP Pub 727 dated 18 May 2020.

6. General Changes to Procedures. This change notice requires all cardholders to provide

personal U.S bank account information to be eligible for enrollment in the Navy Cash Stored

Value Card program. Providing instant issue Navy Cash cards to civilians or contractors

requires a linked U.S. bank account. Contractors must also provide their employer’s company

name, address, contact information, and sign an FS Form 2889, U.S. Department of the

Treasury Stored Value Card Contractor Agreement.

contactors should enter the following:
