  • Contact anyone who makes a deposit to your account. This could be from your retirement, pension, Social Security etc. Some of these businesses require their own form or you can use one of ours.

Privacy
Because of the new privacy regulations, "you" as the customer need to help us:

  • Inform anyone who makes withdrawals from your account that you have switched, this could be insurance companies, other banks etc.

Finally, Close Your Old Account

  • Ask your former bank to close your account and send you a check for the balance after all the transactions have cleared. They will probably need something in writing to do this.
