TO DO LIST:

Step 1: Get Organized

• One of Catholic Federal Credit Union’s knowledgeable staff will help you choose the services that are right for you, open your new account, and order your new Catholic Federal Credit Union checks and Debit Card.
• Transition from your old account, and begin using your Catholic Federal Credit Union account.

Step 2: Switch Direct Deposit

• Change your direct deposit to your new Catholic Federal Credit Union account.
• For Payroll Direct Deposit, print, complete, and send one direct deposit form to each company making a direct deposit.
• For Social Security Direct Deposit, please call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213. Your change can be made right over the phone. Simply use the numbers at the bottom of your Catholic Federal Credit Union checks.

Step 3: Switch Automatic Withdrawals/Charges

• Contact the organizations and financial institutions that are currently deducting a recurring payment from your existing account.
• Switch existing automatic withdrawals by completing the “Automatic Withdrawal Request” form and provide them to the corresponding payee.
• Automatic charges to your old debit or credit card can be changed by providing the organization with your new Catholic Federal Debit Card or VISA number.

Step 4: Close Your Old Accounts

• Leave your old accounts open long enough for outstanding checks and automatic withdrawals to clear with enough money in the accounts to cover the transactions.
• Once the accounts are no longer active, complete the “Close Account Request” form and submit to your previous financial institution.
