the SMCU branch locations.

Easy Switch Checklist
Please print out this checklist and check off the boxes on your
printed copy to ensure that you complete all of the necessary steps.
Open your membership and checking account at San Mateo Credit Union (SMCU). You may do this at
any of our branch locations or by applying online.
Verify certain funds are available in your old account to cover any automatic payments, checks and debit card
transactions that may still be withdrawn. Check maturity dates on Certificates if transferring in order to avoid
early withdrawal penalties.

Authorization for Canceling Automatic Payment Form
Send written notices to companies that automatically take payments from your checking (utilities, mortgage,
insurance, brokerage, credit cards, internet service providers, transfers to banks, child support or court-issued
payments) notifying them that you are closing the account.
Authorization for Transferring Automatic Payment Form
Add a notification with your new account if you wish to move and continue automatic payments at SMCU.
Authorization for Automatic Payment Form
Send a notification if you wish to add new automatic payments.
Contact companies that take payments from your old checking account using a debit card. Inform them of
your new SMCU debit card number and expiration date. If you prefer, you may set up this payment as an
automatic payment rather than debit card payment using the Authorization for Automatic Payment Form.
Verify your direct deposits and automatic payments have begun posting to your new account.
Account Closing Request Form
Send written notice to your old financial institution informing them you are closing your account.
Please be aware that completion of the switch transfer process may take up to two statement cycles to complete depending
on your other financial institution; plan ahead and maintain access to funds for your use and current payments.
