How difficult is it to change accounts?

[858Smith]

I need to change our savings to a checking (don't ask), but my husband's pay gets direct-deposited into that savings. He has the Eagle card (or whatever you call it when they're AD) and I'm gonna tell him to take out enough cash to keep him going until we change it on MyPay.

How long and annoying is that process and does HE need to do anything?

Any help would be appreciated!

its not that difficult. He needs to go to mypay and input the new account info. when he does it will let him know when it will be effective. if you did it now I think it might hit the new account on the 15th, but I can't remember the dates they tell you to do things by.
However keep the other account open (obviously) till you start getting your pay to the new account.

Thanks so much! He told me it was an annoying process, but I think he did that to get on my nerves

Well said

I think if you get it changed over by the 6th or 7th, it will hit on the 15th in the new account. But I could be wrong

it takes less than 3 min lol. he probably just doesn't want to be bothered doing it. men

Or wait....are you wanting to change an existing Savings account into a checking?

Not sure THAT is possible.

Your OP is a bit confusing.

hmmm good catch. that isn't possible. You have to open a checking account that will be different from your savings account ( different account number and all that)

Yeah, if he doesn't have an actual checking account already open in his name...then it can get hairy.

Sorry! No, I need to just need to open a whole new account. Thanks again!
