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. In addition to the user’s name, address, bank account, and routing number, a phone number and email address are also collected.
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 your switch. The length of time it takes for a switch to be fully processed depends on a variety of factors and ranges from an instantaneous switch to a few days.
