will help you switch any automated payments and direct deposits to your new account.
STEP 2: TRANSFER DIRECT DEPOSITS AND AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS
It’s a good idea to have a few recent bank statements available to review the automated transactions you need to move. Transfer direct deposits from your employer, retirement plan, interest payments or other source of income, such as Social Security.
