Switching to Athens Federal is easy.

1. Stop by one of our locations and ask to open a new account. Please remember to bring the following items with you:

   Drivers License
   Social Security Number
   Initial Deposit ($50 for free checking account)

   See our account information for other products and services.

2. Discontinue using your other account and redirect your direct deposits to Athens Federal.

   Stop writing checks from your other account that you want to close. Let all checks from the old account clear (typically this will take between 10-14 business days). When you’re confident all checks have cleared, ask for a check to be cut for any remaining balance.

3. Destroy any unused checks, deposit slips, and any ATM or DEBIT cards.
