Close Your Old Account

  1. Stop using your old account but leave enough money in your old account to cover outstanding checks or withdrawals.
  2. When all outstanding checks have cleared and all automatic withdrawals have been switched to BECU, close your old account. Check with your prior financial institution to see if they require any specific forms to close your account. If you need any form notarized, you can get that done at any BECU location.
