Switch to BankSA

Switch to BankSA with ease

Switching to BankSA is simple and we can make it easy to switch your regular payments to your new BankSA account. Say goodbye to your old bank and experience truly great service with BankSA.

Enjoy convenience, great service and a range of accounts to suit your banking style. Find the right account and then open it online, by phone or at a branch near you.

Step 1. Stop using the bank account you wish to close.

• Maintain sufficient funds to cover any outstanding cheques or automatic payments you have set up.



• Identify regular payments to and from your old account. Ask your other bank to provide a list of regular payments, as well as periodical payments, or use our Activity Summary to make a list. These are the organisations you'll want to tell about your new account.

Step 2. Arrange to have your salary paid into your new BankSA account. Provide your employer with your new BSB and Account Number.

Step 3. Transfer direct credits and debits. These are payments set up with a particular business and might include your telephone bill, electricity bill, insurance payments etc.

Step 4. Transfer periodical payments. These are recurring payments you may have set up yourself to pay expenses such as your rent, a loan or a credit card.

Step 5. Close your other account
When your regular payments have been transferred to your new BankSA account, it’s time to close your old account. Use the Account Closure Request template.
