Switching to Your BankWest Checking Account
We’re delighted that you’re moving your account to BankWest. We’ll help you with this transition in any way we can. Follow these four steps
for a smooth checking account transition.
1. Select your checking preference and open your BankWest account.
2. Stop making transactions from your old account.
Leave enough money in the old account to cover outstanding checks and automatic payments.
Cancel future online bill payments if applicable.
3. Transfer any auto payments and auto deposits to your new account.
We’ve provided a checklist to help you identify the automatic payments and deposits being made from your old account. Use the attached
authorization forms to notify companies of the need to convert your auto payments and direct deposits to your BankWest account. You
may make additional copies of these forms or print copies from the Checking section of our web site at www.bankwest-sd.com.
4. Close your old account.
After all outstanding items have cleared your account and your direct deposits, automatic payments and online payments have been
converted, close your old account. As a final step, destroy any unused checks, deposit slips and checkcards.
Why is BankWest the best choice?
At a time when it’s more important than ever to know and trust who you bank with, we at BankWest want to restate
our commitment to helping you achieve financial success and to investing in the future of our communities.
