 |
Open an HNB checking account. Click
here to view the variety of checking account options
and choose the account that’s right for you. You
can even apply online, or visit
one of our 50+ branches. Be sure to take advantage of
the many free services available, such as a Visa®
Check Card with Visa® Extras, Web Banking, Online
Bill Payment, Bounce Protection® and Telephone Banking!
For overdraft protection or to set-up a recurring transfer,
open a savings or money market account linked to your
checking account. |
|
Stop using your old checking account
and make sure all of your outstanding checks have cleared.
Destroy unused checks, deposit slips and old ATM or
check cards. Be sure to leave enough funds in your account
to cover any automatic payments. |
|
Switch your direct deposit from
your old account to your new account. Use our handy
Change
Account for Direct Deposit Request for
each of your direct deposit sources (employer’s
payroll department, the Social Security Administration,
your retirement plan, etc.). This will change your
direct deposit from these sources from your old account
to your new account(s) with us. Include a new deposit
slip or voided check from your new HNB/EPB account. Fill out the form, print, and mail*.
|
|
Make sure any automatic payments or withdrawals
are switched to your new account (utilities,
club dues, insurance, subscriptions, loan payments,
etc). To do this, use the Change
Account for Direct Withdrawal Request
form to notify your vendors. Simply fill out a form
for each biller/company, print, and mail*! Don’t
forget any payments that use your old debit card account
number too! Also - if you currently use an online
bill payment service, remember to delete any recurring
payments and reestablish your payees in our
free online bill payment service.
|
|
Close your old account. Use the Account
Closing Request to notify your old bank/credit
union that you are closing your account, and indicate
where you would like the remaining balance sent. You
may choose to have a check for the remaining balance
mailed to you, or you may have it sent to us, and we'll
take care of the rest. It’s that easy! |
