Step 3

Close your old checking account

Step 3

Close your old checking account

Wait a few weeks before closing your other account. This will give you time to receive your debit card, checks and first direct deposit. You also want to make sure that checks have cleared and any scheduled payments (such as Bill Pay and automated payments) have been set up in your new account.

  • Your checking (spending) account number is on the Welcome email you received when you opened your account, or click the three dots next to your account in Digital Banking and choose Settings
  • Provide your new account information to companies taking automatic payments from your old checking account (e.g., loans, credit cards, utilities, insurance, etc.)
  • Set up free Bill Pay in your new Stanford FCU account if you were using Bill Pay with your old account
  • Once you’re done using your old checking account, you can write a check for the remaining balance made payable to yourself and deposit it into your new account with mobile check deposit
  • Notify your old bank that you want to close the account as soon as that account balance is zero to avoid paying any fees—you can notify them through messaging in their digital banking or mobile app
