Verify that all checks, check card transactions, and scheduled bill payments have cleared your old checking account.
Make certain funds are available in your old account to cover any automatic payments, checks, and check card transactions that may still be withdrawn. Check maturity dates on Certificates of Deposit if transferring in order to avoid early withdrawal penalties.
