One of the main reasons people are afraid to switch checking accounts is because all of the work involved. You usually need to set up a new direct deposit with your employer. This used to involve signing paperwork and waiting for it to clear. Not anymore.
With online + mobile banking, you can set up a direct deposit almost instantly, taking a lot of the pain out of opening a new checking account and making payday (and any other direct deposits you receive) a lot easier.
But wait, there’s more. Google, Apple and Samsung have a habit of storing your debit card information everywhere you frequently shop. Most online stores like Amazon, Target and Walmart do this, too. You also have your card tied to every subscription service you use. Getting a new card may mean missing out on the next Netflix premier.
Not on our watch. Use the Card Updater tool in online + mobile banking to update your cards on the most popular retail websites. Keep reading to learn how to use these time-saving tools.
