2. Redirect automatic transactions to your new TTCU account

This tedious task becomes uncomplicated when you use the Redirect Automatic Payment and Redirect Direct Deposit forms included in our handy online switch kit. Send a completed form to any business that makes automatic transactions on your account. Feel free to ask us for help with any of the enclosed forms –we’re here to serve your needs! Use this checklist to keep track of companies you may need to contact for certain automated transactions:

Direct Deposit

Your employer’s human resources department

The company handling your retirement or pension payments

Social Security Administration

Dividend distributions

Automatic Withdrawal

Mortgage lender

Insurance companies

Utility companies

Health Club

Auto loan payments

3. Close your old accounts

You will need to contact your current financial institution and inform them that you are in the process of switching to TTCU. We’ve made it easy by supplying a standard Close and Balance form to complete that action. Allow enough time for outstanding checks and automatic withdrawals to clear, and be sure to leave enough money in place to cover those transactions. This process may take several weeks. Once you’re sure that all business is finished with the account, send your institution the completed Close and Balance form provided in the kit below. You’ll also want to destroy any checks, debit/ATM cards, and deposit or withdrawal slips pertaining to the old account.
