There are so many reasons why people switch checking accounts. Maybe your bank is local and you moved out of state, or you ditched banks altogether to join the credit union movement. You could’ve opened a new account to take advantage of rewards offered by another financial institution. You could want to for no reason at all, and just haven’t because of the hassle.

Between the subscriptions and automatic payments out there, like Netflix and gym memberships, and the fear of throwing off your direct deposit schedule, it’s no wonder why people are hesitant. ClickSWITCH™ is a service that allows you to easily and safely transfer all of your existing debits and direct deposit information from your old account into any new account you open. With ClickSWITCH™, it’s easy. It only takes a click of your mouse. And it’s available to anyone with a checking account with Florida Credit Union.

What Can I Do With ClickSWITCH™?

With ClickSWITCH™, it’s easy, and like the name suggests, it just takes a click of the mouse to conveniently and securely move all of your existing recurring payments and direct deposits to your checking account.

Worried that your old account might have some hang-ups? Easily notify all your payees of your account change with ClickSWITCH™!  At your request, ClickSWITCH™ can also close the account at your prior financial institution and give you a real-time notification of the change to your email and your phone.

Is ClickSWITCH™ Secure?

With the ever present threat of fraud in the online environment, it’s understandable to harbor hesitations about the process.  As your local credit union, we know that we may be your first line of defense. That’s why ClickSWITCH™ stays one-step ahead of any potential threat with a fully-encrypted banking system using the latest technology, ensuring the protection of your valuable personal and financial information.

How Do I Get Started?

If you already have a ClickSWITCH™ Track Code, you can login to ClickSWITCH™ here. If you don’t have a track code, call Florida Credit Union, or stop by your local branch, to transfer your account today!

  1.  Got your code? Login to your ClickSWITCH ™ account.
  2. Notify your auto-debit payees of the new account information and update your billing information to reflect the change.
