quote:It sounds as if cash management is a problem for your company without the change of bank issue. Otherwise there shouldn't be a need to float any accounts.
It's not like there is enough cash from other sources to float one account while we get everything moved over. It's going to be a cluster.
It is not as difficult as you think if the change is planned properly. Communicating with your customers and vendors in advance of the change eases the change. You establish a cut off date for stopping payments made from the account(s) you are closing. When that date arrives you should know exactly what checks are outstanding, and you leave sufficient money in the account(s) you are closing to cover those checks. The day after the cut off you begin making payments from your new bank accounts. You close all account(s) after a reasonable time, 30 days works for me, for the outstanding checks to clear. Any presented for payment after 30 days will be rejected, and you will have to issue new checks.
As far as payments received, you provide your customers with the new banking information they require and the date to begin using that new information. You have to monitor the old account(s) for any unexpected credits while you wait for the outstanding checks to clear.
There may be some additional work for the accounting people for 30 days, but it shouldn't cause any crises.
