The Bank will be sending Notifications of Change on your behalf; however, we cannot guarantee that the change request will be processed, as many companies do not accept third party notifications. To make sure everything changes over, please contact any company you pay via automatic withdrawal or from which you receive direct deposit from and provide them with your new routing number: 084307761. Your account number will remain the same unless you have been told otherwise. We advise you to contact these companies as soon as you can after the Apex Bank opening date of August 7th, however, we will honor transactions using the United Community Bank routing number for the first 60 days post-opening.
