Moving your Account

5 simple steps to make the move from your current bank to our bank.
Also you can use this same set of forms if you are closing one account at our bank and opening a new one at our bank.

Step 1. Open your Community First Bank account.

Stop by either our Menahga or Sebeka location to open an account.
If you would like assistance filling out the following forms, get your account information from your current bank account and bring it to with you to Menahga or Sebeka and our new account employees will help you make the change.
Instead of using the forms, you could make phone calls to the affected places; the forms will allow you to collect all the information you will need.

Step 2. Stop using your old account.

Let all your checks clear. This could take up to 10 business days or longer.
Continue to check on your old account. Destroy any unused checks, deposit slips, ATM and Debit Cards.
