  6. Close your old account
    Once you have started receiving direct deposits into your new account and are sure that there are no outstanding checks or automatic debits that need to clear, close your old account.
    Warning: do not withdraw the last dollar and assume the account will fade away on its own. Your old financial institution may start charging you fees for having an empty or inactive checking account. Instead, follow the bank's procedure for closing out the account.
