Moving all
your accounts to Metairie Bank has never been
easier. Our
convenient
Switch Kit
makes it easy to benefit
from all that Metairie Bank has to offer:
Competitive products and services, Great Rates
and the Best Personal Service.
1. Open
your new Metairie Bank Checking Account:
You can open an account by visiting any
of our branch
locations.
2. Stop using your old account:
Just let all of your checks clear. We’ll
pay you $10.00 for your unused checks,
debit cards and deposit slips and
destroy them for you.
3. Move your Direct Deposits to your new
account:
Once your checking account is opened,
you will want to change any direct
deposits to your new account. Also,
you'll need to inform companies who make
direct deposits on your behalf to use
the new account. You can use the Payroll
Direct Deposit Authorization Form to
notify these companies of the change.
Print one form for each direct deposit,
fill it out and send it to the company
making your deposits.
Note: For social security direct
deposits, changes may be made by calling
Social Security Administration at
1-800-772-1213.
4. Move your Automatic Withdrawals to
your New Account:
You will want to change any automatic
payments that are being drafted from
your old account. You will need to
notify the companies making those drafts
of the change in accounts.
Feel free to use the Automatic
Payment/Deposit Switch Form to notify
these companies of the change. Print a
form for each company making an
automatic payment/deposit. Fill it out
and send it to the company making the
payment/deposit.
5. Close your old account:
You can do this by sending a written
notice to close your old checking
account using the Account Closing Form.
If, after all your checks have cleared
there is a balance that remains, your
previous bank will send you a check for
the remaining balance. The
Account Balance Worksheet is provided to easily
assist you in calculating your balance.
6. New Account Conversion Check List:
To make the account switch process as
easy as possible, your Metairie Bank
Switch kit includes a Convenient Check
List to guide you though a simple and
orderly process.
Your Metairie Bank Personal
Banking Professional is readily
available to answer your
questions and to make the switch
process convenient. Just call us
