Current account switch

Switch bank accounts to Ednites Credit Union today

What happens when you switch?

Day 1 & 2

The Current Account Switch service will contact your old bank and they confirm if the switch can go ahead.

Day 3

Your new account will then be set up and your payments, like your salary and bill payments will be moved across.

Day 6 & 7

We talk to your old bank about transferring the balance over. On Day 7 your balance will then be transferred and your old account will be closed. And that's your switch complete!
