Transition information for your business accounts

Product or Service

Important Details to Know

Account Numbers

Unless otherwise notified, deposit account numbers won't be changing. First Citizens may use fewer digits for your account number, so please see the account listing provided on the back of the letter mailed to you on June 10, 2022.

Routing Number

Your new routing number is 122037760.

Automatic Payments

If you have payments automatically deducted from your account, be sure to provide your new account number and routing number to the recipients of your automatic payments as soon as possible after July 18 to prevent any interruption.

Direct Deposits and Automated Transfers

In most cases, direct deposits and automated transfers will continue without interruption. However, there are certain companies that won't automatically make those changes without obtaining customer authorization. You may need to provide your new account information, including your new routing number, after July 18.

If you used automated transfers to transfer interest earned on your OneWest Bank checking or savings account to another account, or to receive a check for the interest, it's important to note that any interest earned at First Citizens will remain in your First Citizens account.

Check Orders and Deposit Tickets

You can continue using your current checks. Any outstanding checks with your OneWest Bank account number will continue to be honored for 180 days from July 18. Deposit tickets preprinted with your OneWest Bank account number will no longer be accepted after July 18.

You will receive a $75 discount on your first order of First Citizens business checks with endorsement stamp and deposit tickets. Any time on or after July 18, call 800-503-2345 Monday through Friday 7 am to 10 pm or Saturday 7 am to 7 pm ET. Provide your First Citizens account number and routing number and mention offer code "L2." You can also order checks at your nearest branch.

Debit Cards

OneWest Bank debit cardholders should have received a new First Citizens Visa® Debit Card the week of June 20. Under separate cover, in an unmarked envelope, we also sent you a new PIN. Your OneWest Bank card stopped working at 11 am PT on Friday, July 15, which is when your new First Citizens card became available for use. Be sure to provide your new card number and expiration date to any merchants you have authorized to debit your card for payments.

ATM Transaction Fees

You can use First Citizens ATMs to get cash, make deposits (where available), transfer funds and more—with no fee.

Online Banking

You gained access to First Citizens Digital Banking for businessD or First Citizens Digital Banking Commercial Advantage™ on Monday, July 18. OneWest Bank online banking users received a separate mailing with more details and new login information.
