Hi, I had some trouble with my debit card last week, so I switched my direct deposit details to my new bank with a better interest rate. I was supposed to do it last week, but I am all set now. I want this week's pay to go into my new bank account. Can I send it over to you directly to have it updated? Also what date would this be effective for? Please advise. Regards,[Executive First Name]
