🕵️‍♂️ Cyber Smart Tip of the Week: Be Cautious of “Helpful” Strangers
Scammers don’t always sound threatening—sometimes they offer to “help.” After a fraud loss, someone may contact you claiming they can recover your money, but first they need a fee, account information, or access to your device. Don’t let one scam turn into two—never pay someone who unexpectedly contacts you offering to recover lost funds and talk to your banker if you’re unsure.

It’s easy — just follow the steps below to get started.
Step 1: Open and Start Using Your New Castle Rock Bank Account
We offer a variety of checking accounts to fit your needs. Visit any local Castle Rock Bank to open your new account and start using it while your remaining transactions clear through your old account.
Step 2: Enroll in Digital Banking
Digital Banking at Castle Rock Bank makes managing your finances easy and convenient.
Enroll in Online Banking and Bill Pay, download our mobile app, add your debit card to your digital wallet, set up Zelle®, enroll in eStatements, and take advantage of features like mobile deposit, account alerts, and more.
Step 3: Transfer Your Direct Deposits
Gather your recent account statements and review your old account for any direct deposits linked to your account. Use our Transaction Checklist and Direct Deposit Switch Form to update your employer, Social Security, retirement provider, or any other income sources with your new Castle Rock Bank account information.
Most updates can be completed online or by phone, but paper forms are included in this kit for your convenience.
Step 4: Update Your Automatic Payments
Identify any automatic payments, withdrawals, subscriptions, or debit card transactions connected to your old account and update them with your new Castle Rock Bank account information. Don’t forget saved payment methods in websites or apps like Amazon, DoorDash, and streaming services.
Use the Transaction Checklist and Automatic Payment Switch Form to help keep your transition organized.
Step 5: Close Your Old Account
Once your direct deposits and automatic payments have successfully transferred and all outstanding transactions have cleared, contact your previous bank to close your old account.
If needed, use the Account Closing Request Form to help complete this step. After your account is closed, securely destroy any remaining checks or debit cards connected to the account.
