What to do if your bank details changed

A simple guide for users whose bank account details changed and who want to update the official record carefully without creating extra payment delays.

Quick answer

If your bank details changed, update them through the relevant official route as soon as practical, enter the new information carefully, and avoid repeated changes once the correct details are submitted.

What this means

A bank-detail change affects payment, not only profile information. If the old account is closed, inactive, or no longer the right one, payment can fail or be delayed until the official record is corrected.

Why this happens

People change bank details for many reasons. They may switch banks, replace an account, close an old account, or correct a detail that was entered incorrectly before. The official system then needs the new details to be verified and matched correctly.

What you can do next

  1. Use the official payment-details route for the relevant support record.
  2. Enter the new account information carefully.
  3. Make sure the account is active and suitable for the official rules.
  4. Keep any confirmation or reference provided by the official system.
  5. Watch for a new update before changing the details again.

What to check before you submit the new details

Check the account number, the bank selection, and whether the account name aligns with the official rules for payment. A clean update submitted once is usually better than several rushed attempts.

Important things to remember

Do not share bank details on unofficial websites. Do not pay someone to change them for you. GrantCare can explain the process, but the change itself must happen through the official system.
