We are so pleased to have you as a customer of Hyden Citizens Bank.  We also know how important it is to have all your information transfer easily and smoothly.  This kit has all the tools to make this convenient and simple.

Please contact us if you have any questions or need our assistance in any way at 606-672-2344 or dduff@middleforkfinancialgroup.com.

Here’s the steps:

  1. Open your account at Hyden Citizens Bank
  2. Switch or Start Direct Deposit
    It’s the easiest way to go.  Use the Direct Deposit Authorization form to switch your direct deposit from another financial institution or to get it started.  Come payday, the money’s just there.  PRESTO!
  3. Balance your old account
    Stop using your old account at the other financial institution, and let all your outstanding checks clear.  This might take up to 10 days.  Destroy your old unused checks, deposit slips and your old ATM and Debit cards.
  4. Change your automatic payments to your account at our bank
    Use the automatic withdrawal form to change any automatic withdrawals or payments you have debited from your old account.  Don’t forget any payments that use your old Debit Card number.
  5. Close your old account
    Once your direct deposits start coming to your Hyden Citizens Bank checking account and all of your checks have cleared your previous account, submit the Request to Close Account form to your old bank.  Our great benefits and friendly service will make you forget about them in no time!
