Frequently asked questions
How does ClickSWITCH work?
Can I use this service if I don’t use online banking?
Yes you can! Call our Member Service Centre − they’ll be happy to answer any of your questions or they can make an appointment for you at your nearest branch to start your switch.
What do I need to start my switch?
It’s easy! Gather all of your automated payments and direct deposit information.
A previous account statement is a great way to identify recurring electronic payments and direct deposits that have been set up through your account.
How long will it take for me to switch over my payments?
Timing varies depending on the type of payment, payee/biller and method needed to switch the payment. Online banking bill payments are switched instantly.
Recurring payments and direct deposits typically take between 7- 10 business days, but can be faster with certain billers. Government-related switches may take longer.
