For Payroll Deposits: Visit your HR department as they usually have specific forms for you to fill out. Please note they may require a voided check.
For Other Payments: Government checks, Pension benefits, Social Security benefits, Child Support, or other court ordered deposits, you will simply provide them with the information above to set up Direct Deposit.
3) Change Automatic Withdrawals or Bill Payments
Review past account statements and make a list of all the companies or organizations that are being automatically deducted from your account. Remember items such as insurance, mortgage payments, utility payments, investments, memberships, and all other automatic withdrawals or payments.
Contact the companies and notify them of your new account information. In many cases, you can change your billing information online or by phone. We have also provided a list of contacts to assist you in contacting your providers.
4) Close your former bank account
Track your outstanding items and once your last debit, check, automatic withdrawal, and/or bill payment has cleared you are ready to close your old account and destroy all remaining checks, debit cards, and deposit slips. Avoid using your debit card to prevent shortages.
