Switch your current account in 3 simple steps
You may want to switch your current account because your fees are too high, you are unhappy with the service, or you’re an Ulster Bank or KBC customer. If you decide to switch your current account, we have made it as simple as 1, 2, 3!
- If you are not a member, you will need to join us. To join, you must live or work within our common bond. Once you are a member, you can then open a current account.
- Pick a date to switch your current account – try and pick a quiet period where there is the least activity on your account.
- Fill out our switching form and we’ll take care of the rest. Make sure you notify anyone who lodges money into your account that you have a new one – this includes employers, state payments, income from share dividends, etc.
Any active direct debits and standing orders will be switched to your new current account, along with your account balance.
