What information is stored within ClickSWITCH?
ClickSWITCH only requests and stores the minimal amount of data required to complete a switch. This information consists of the same details you would see on a blank check.

For the account holder, submitting a switch can take as little as about 90 seconds. Once submitted, ClickSWITCH provides a status page where you can review the most current information regarding the switch. The length of time it takes for a switch to be fully processed depends on a variety of factors between the depositor and your financial institution, but it ranges from an instantaneous switch to a few short days.
