Banking Relationship Transfer Request Form

Streamline Your Bank Transfer with a Professional Request Form

Switching banks doesn't have to be complicated. Whether you're moving to a new financial institution for better rates, improved service, or more convenient features, our Banking Relationship Transfer Request Form helps you organize every detail of your account migration in one place.

This template is designed for banks, credit unions, and financial advisors who want to provide customers with a smooth, professional onboarding experience. Instead of juggling multiple paper forms and phone calls, customers can submit a complete transfer request that captures all their existing accounts, automatic payments, direct deposits, and preferred closing timeline.

What makes this form essential for financial institutions

When a customer decides to move their banking relationship, they're trusting you with a complex transition. This form helps you:

• Capture complete account details from their current institution, including checking, savings, credit cards, loans, and investment accounts
• Map automatic payment and direct deposit migrations so nothing gets missed during the transition
• Set clear expectations with a structured closing timeline and confirmation process
• Reduce abandonment by making the switch feel manageable and well-supported

For retail banks and credit unions, this form transforms a potentially stressful process into a confidence-building first impression. For financial advisors and wealth managers, it demonstrates the level of service and attention to detail clients can expect.

Automate follow-up with Stepper

Once a customer submits their transfer request, you can use Stepper to automate the entire onboarding workflow. Create tasks for your team to open new accounts, set up notifications when documents are uploaded, and send personalized email sequences that guide customers through each phase of the transition. Stepper keeps everything connected—from form submission to account activation—without manual handoffs.

Built for trust and compliance

Banking forms need to be professional, clear, and secure. This template uses clean layouts with conditional logic to show only relevant questions, making the form feel simple even when capturing comprehensive information. And with Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance, you can trust that sensitive financial information is handled securely.

Whether you're a community bank looking to attract new customers or a digital-first credit union streamlining account onboarding, this form template gives you a head start on creating a seamless transfer experience that wins loyalty from day one.
