Switch Kit

Make the Switch

It’s time to go local. When it comes to your money, would you rather bank with strangers in another state, or people you know right down the block? We thought so. With competitive interest rates, free services from notarizing to cashier’s checks, home loans, credit cards, and more, we offer everything you need in a bank, right here.

Switch Kit

We'll help you transfer all of your personal and business accounts to First National Bank of East Texas, using our Switch Kit. It makes the process secure, simple, and speedy.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Open your new First National Bank of East Texas personal or business checking account. If you'd like help completing the forms to switch automatic payments and deposits, bring a list of direct deposits and automatic payments with addresses and phone numbers, or your most recent bank statements to our branch.
2. Discontinue use of your old account. Leave money in the old account to cover any outstanding checks or service charges.
3. Once all of your checks have cleared and all automatic payments and direct deposits are being deducted or credited from your new First National Bank of East Texas account, you can close your old account. Remember to destroy any unused checks and cancel your debit card(s).
