Privacy
Because of the new privacy regulations, you will need to personally inform anyone who makes withdrawals from your account that you have switched. This could be insurance companies, other banks etc.

Finally, Close Your Old Account

Ask your former bank to close your account and send you a check for the balance after all the transactions have cleared. They will probably need something in writing to do this.
