Your Existing OUB and BoP Products Will Remain Similar
The following personal product names will change to the following:
Action Required: Activate Debit Cards Monday, September 23
- When and How to Activate Your New Card – Activate your new VISA Debit card on Monday, September 23, by calling 866-633-5293 from the phone number associated with your account. Please refer to the sticker on the front of the card.
- Your New PIN – You will be asked to create a NEW VISA Debit card PIN when you call to activate your card. You will be able to choose the PIN of your choice.
- What to do With Your Old Card – On Monday, September 23, we advise you to destroy your OUB/BoP Debit card by cutting through the magnetic strip and the card number. For your security, it is best to throw the pieces away in different receptacles.
- When to Use Your New Card – Effective Monday morning, September 23, you can begin using your NEW Guaranty Bank VISA Debit card. Your old OUB/BoP card will not work after Monday, September 23.
Account Numbers
Most account numbers will remain the same at Guaranty Bank. We have identified less than 30 checking accounts that have the same account number at Guaranty Bank. If you have one of the 30 duplicate checking account numbers, a bank representative
will reach out to you prior to September 20 to offer personalized concierge services. This service will assist in seamlessly opening
a new checking account, with additional help in converting the transactions to the new account number.
Debit and ATM Cards
You will receive a new Guaranty Bank Visa® Debit card with a new card number, activation instructions, and disclosure shortly before your accounts convert. Please do not activate or use your new Guaranty Bank Visa Debit card until Monday, September 23. After activation, you will want to update any recurring payments you have on your OUB/BoP Debit card to your new card number.
Checks and Deposit Slips
You may continue using your current supply of OUB/BoPchecks and deposit slips until your supply is depleted.
We will be glad to order you new checks after the conversion. However, if you wish to continue to order checks through another
provider, please provide Guaranty Bank’s ABA routing number 084202251 to ensure correct processing.
Statements
Checking, Savings and Money Market: Your final statement from OUB/BoP will include all activity from your last statement, and any interest posted to your accounts, through Friday, September 20. Your next statement will be from Guaranty Bank and will include all activity from Saturday, September 21 forward.
If you currently receive a combined statement, you will continue to receive a combined statement after conversion.
You will receive images of the front of your paid and cancelled checks on your checking and money market account statements after conversion.
Account statements are dispersed at the end of the month.
