Step 4 - Switch Your Automatic Payments

If you have recurring payments (such as loan or utility payments) automatically deducted from your account, use our Automatic Payment Change Form to inform these companies that those payments should be automatically debited from your new First Midwest account. You may also want to see if those companies offer their own online payment solution so you can update your payment information there instead of by letter.

Step 5 - Close Your Old Accounts

Once your outstanding checks and debit card transactions have cleared, and your automatic payments and direct deposits have been changed to your new First Midwest account, use our Account Closing Notice to tell your former bank that you'll be closing your account/s and requesting that the remaining balance/s be sent to your attention.
