Switch your account in 7 business days
We move your direct deposits and automatic payments for you – guaranteed.
We do the heavy lifting
Switching banks used to mean weeks of updating payees and chasing employers. With the Meridien Switch Service, you choose a date and we move your direct deposits, automatic payments and recurring bills across for you – usually within seven business days.
Our Switch Guarantee means that if anything goes wrong during your switch, we’ll refund any interest or fees charged on either account as a result. And when your switch completes and you’ve received $1,000 in direct deposits, we’ll pay you a $200 bonus.
