Do any of you with Trusts have a checking account in the Trusts name? If so, who are you using? Bellco Credit Union denied me so it?s time to find a 2a friendly bank or CU.

My trust from a lawyer (Douglas Turner, in Genessee) came with a couple of pages set up just for bank accounts or other institutions (certification of trust). It establishes the credibility / legitimacy of the trust without a detailed description of what the trust does, exactly for the situation you ran into. IIRC it is only two pages and I was able to open a checking account for NFA purchase without any woke oversight or the credit union / bank having any idea what it is for.
Never needed it. As a trustee you're acting on behalf of the trust and your checking account, CC, etc. is suitable for payment.
Per "Rodney's Trust" instructions, I do complete a "Use Certification" letter that's signed by me as trustee, scanned for records, and a copy given to the FFL for NFA purchases. Likely, it ends up in the trash after I walk out the door.
