Helpful Forms
Payment & Outstanding Items Worksheet
Use this worksheet to keep track of the information needed to switch automatic and bill pay payments to your Keen Bank account. At your convenience, you may also use this worksheet to track outstanding checks on your former bank account or outstanding debit card transactions to ensure they clear before closing the account.
This may include mortgage payments or rent, utilities, cell phone, credit cards, car/auto payments, student loans, streaming services, gym memberships and other transactions, such as transfers to externally linked deposit accounts, retirement accounts and investment accounts.
