Step 1

We’ll send a request to your old bank to confirm the switch and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Step 2

Your old account will be closed on your behalf. Your balance and payments (like Direct Debits) will be moved to your Royal Bank account.

Step 3

The switch is complete. Your old bank will make sure that any payments made to your old account will redirect to your new Royal Bank account.
