Changing your banking details to your new NAB bank account

It’s a good idea to have the following information on hand before you start:

• A list of regular payments out of your account eg rent, phone bills, power bills. Look at old statements to get your list started
• A list of regular payments into your account eg salary, share dividends, government allowances. Old statements will help here too
• Details of the accounts you want to close - account name, BSB and account numbers 
• Your new NAB everyday bank account details – account name, six digit BSB and nine digit account number
   

1. Arrange to have your salary paid into your new NAB everyday bank account
2. Stop payments into and out of your old accounts
3. Set up payments into and out of your new NAB everyday bank account
4. Transfer any funds from your old accounts to your new NAB everyday bank account
5. Close your old accounts once your payments have been updated
