The switching process will notify the Debit User of the account change, however they are not obligated to action this change. Some Debit Users will not accept this form of notification (such as some government agencies) or are unable to be contacted. Therefore we recommend if the change has not been actioned within 4-6weeks of submitting this request, you contact the company/business directly to implement the change.
Though the forms provided can help with the majority of regular payments there are some that can be missed in this process. These can include:
- Regular transfers set up on the customer’s old financial institution or electronic banking (such as rent)
- Payments set up using your previous debit or credit card details (such as Netflix)
For these payments, we also suggest the customer contact each company/business directly.
