EZEE-SWITCH

EZEE-SWITCH makes changing banks really easy.

When you open a new Bank of the Ozarks account we will give you EZEE-SWITCH forms so you can easily transfer your automatic payments and direct deposits.

Once you have received your new account number, simply notify the firms with whom you have automatic payments so that future payments will be deducted from your new Bank of the Ozarks account. Then attach a voided check or deposit slip to the completed authorization form and drop it in the mail.

To switch your direct deposits, it’s just as easy. Just attach one of your new deposit slips to a completed authorization form and drop it in the mail to those who deposit into your account. For EZEE-SWITCH forms, click here.
