Just follow this easy path to Better Banking with Benchmark!

It's easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Select your account(s).
Choose from our list of Benchmark checking accounts. There's one that's right for you!

2. Open the Benchmark account(s).
Visit a Benchmark branch convenient to you to complete the account opening. Make sure you bring the proper identification.*

3. Let us help you close your old account(s)...
Decide when is best to stop using your old account(s). Some people need to do this in order to open the new one. Some people prefer to take their time and do it gradually. If you are ready to close your old account, remember to bring all pertinent contact information with you when you open your account and your relationship specialist will prepare the paperwork for you. This will include a Direct Deposit Change Request instructing your employer and/or anyone else who pays you regularly to start depositing your check in your new account, and an Automatic Payment Change Form authorizing anyone who takes a payment automatically out of your old account to start withdrawing it from your new account. They will also prepare a Notice of Account Closure form to go to the bank where you have your current account.

...or DIY - your choice!
Should you want or need to handle your change requests and account closures yourself, you can, of course, fill out the above forms yourself. If you are completing the switch yourself and get Social Security, please note that Social Security requires their own form. Our routing number is 051402482.

Start smiling. You're now ready to enjoy better banking with Benchmark!
