Come in to a local bank branch and we’ll help you:

• Select the best checking account for your situation
• Order new checks
• Apply for a Visa® check card
• Enroll in Online Account Access and Bill Pay

Once your new account is set up:

• Make a list of your current automatic deposits – download our Activity Tracking Sheet
• Transfer your direct deposits and automatic payments - use our Direct Deposit and Automatic Payment Transfer forms
• View sample cover letters that can be used with the forms
•  Biller letter to transfer payments
• Employer letter to transfer direct deposits
• Switch to Commerce Bank Online Bill Pay if you currently pay your bills online or are ready to start

It’s time to close your old account. We suggest you:

• Allow outstanding checks and payments to clear
• Transfer the remaining balance by writing a check to Commerce Bank and depositing into your new account
• Request your old account be closed by either contacting the old bank directly or sending the Account Closing Request form
