Three stages of switching
Stage 1: Drop in
Drop into any EBS office. Full list of our offices. Or you can make an appointment to switch if you want
Stage 2: Document verification
To ensure that your account opening happens smoothly and efficiently, bring all of your identification documents with you when you visit your local office. You need to bring two forms of suitable identification (ideally a passport or driving licence as well as an up-to-date utility bill or recent bank statement) with you. Please talk to one of our staff at your local office if you don’t have these documents
Stage 3: Sign
Sign the relevant application forms
How it works
We will open your new MoneyManager account once your application has been approved and set you up on your online account. Then, we’ll work with your old bank to arrange for your standing orders and active direct debits to be set up on your new EBS MoneyManager account so that your new account is up and running.
Two options for switching banks
You can either switch into our MoneyManager account and close your account with your old bank, or switch all your active direct debits and standing orders to our MoneyManager Account and keep your old bank account open. Please read our personal account switching pack (PDF, 17 pages, 220KB) to learn how.
