Switch Kit

Time for a better way to bank.

Tired of being treated like you don't matter? Switch to a New York bank that prioritizes your needs and treats you with the respect you and your money deserve. At Apple Bank, we make it easy to switch checking and savings accounts to us. Here's how to do it in a few easy steps.

Open your Apple Bank account

• Visit your nearest Apple Bank location. 
• Bring your Social Security number or Tax Identification number and two forms of identification, one of which must be a photo ID, such as a current driver's license or passport.
• Deposit at least $100 into your Apple Bank checking account. Selected savings accounts may be opened with as little as $100. Visit our Business Banking page to learn more about business checking and savings accounts.

Stop using your old checking account

• Leave enough money in your old checking account to cover any outstanding checks and pending automatic payments. When all outstanding items have cleared, you’re ready to close your old account.
• If you have Online Banking and Bill Pay service with your old account, print your existing payee screens and use this information to set up your Apple Bank Online Bill Pay service when you register for Online Banking.  Please note the payee name, address, phone number and account number.
