New Account and should I be concerned
I recently opened a new account at a credit union, that says they don't use check systems or EWS..only telecheck. The account has been opened for about 3 weeks, and I have my debit card (I never ordered checks, figuring I would do it later). How long should I wait before transfering my direct deposit and everything else over. I made a deposit at a branch this afternoon, and there were no issues.
I'm probably just paranoid, and don't plan to close my account at my current bank, just wanted to have a credit union account.
Thanks!

You have nothing to worry about, I would set up direct deposit rught away. Setting up direct deposit also gives a bank or credit union a sense of security in the fact that they know you are serious about the acccount and keeping it right.

MCA,
I've had my present bank account for a year now. What's the odds that they will run a "sweep" on my account for Chexsystems or EWS? I bank with Huntington National Bank.

m.lm...Anything is possible with a bank that uses chexsystems but I have never heard one person tell me over all these years that they have had an issue with Huntington National Bank. I wouldn't think you have anything to worry about at all. And I do not believe they run " sweeps"
I do know that generally they will not allow anyone on chexsystems to open an account unless there is no debt owed. Some locations will make exceptions in these cases.
