Introducing Switch the Squirrel. As you know, squirrels are more than just cute, they’re feisty savers, making Switch the perfect mascot for Ridgewood. And what is he saving? Acorns that grow into mighty oaks.
While the process of switching banks may seem complicated, it’s really not that difficult. Follow these 6 steps to make your transition to Ridgewood as smooth as possible.
Before pulling the plug on your old bank, choose and open the Ridgewood account that’s right for you. You can start one online or visit your local branch.
Your employer will have a simple form, which you’ll need to fill out in order to reroute paycheck deposits to your new account.
Ridgewood’s routing number is 226071033.
Print a copy of your latest monthly balance statement from your old bank and highlight all the automatic debit transactions. Note which payments were initiated by bill pay and which ones were debited by the companies you paid. Use this list to set up automatic payments from your new account.
See if there are any unpaid bills or un-cashed checks that need to clear your account and keep enough cash in your old account to cover those expenses. Transfer the rest to your new Ridgewood account.
Stop using your old account completely, but keep it open for at least another month. This will help you avoid any complications with auto-payment issues or un-cashed checks.
Once you are sure that all outstanding checks have cleared and all automatic bill payments have been completed, transfer the rest of your money to the new account and officially close your old one.
