If someone will be joint on your checking account, be sure to include their personal information in the body of the form and have them sign at the bottom, just below your signature. Note: Checking accounts are opened following a Check Systems History report. Proceed with the following steps after you have been notified that your Credit Union checking account has been approved. 2. Switch Your Direct Deposit. If your employer is sending your paycheck directly to your current checking account (or a savings account) at another financial institution, use the Authorization to Switch Direct Deposit form to notify your employer to begin sending your paycheck directly to your credit union. If you work more than one job with direct deposit, print one for each employer. 3. Switch Your Automatic Payment Drafts. If you have automatic payments (insurance, loans, utilities, club dues, etc.) drafted regularly out of your current checking account, use the Instructions to Switch Payment Drafts form to notify the payee to stop drafting your current financial institution and begin drafting your checking account at your credit union. Print one copy for each payee. 4. Close Your Accounts At the Other Financial Institution. Use the Instructions to Close Account(s) form to send to your current financial institution instructing them to close your account and transfer any remaining funds to your credit union. Print as many as you need for multiple financial institutions. If you have questions or need assistance, please call our Member Service Call Center toll free at
