Change of Bank Details

You may notify the Department of Education and Youth at any time for your salary or pension payment to be made to a new bank account.

How do I arrange for my bank account details to be changed?

Please complete the Change_of_Bank_Details_Form to request Payroll Division of the Department of Education and Youth to change your bank account details. If your bank account is due to close, you should notify Payroll Division of your new bank account details as soon as possible. Please ensure that your existing account is not closed until your salary or pension payment begins to be paid to your new account and allow sufficient time for the change to take place.

Where should I send my completed form to?

Your completed form should be sent electronically to Payroll Division via the customer contact form.

How long will it take to update my bank account details?

You should allow 2-4 weeks for the salary or pension to be paid to your new account. Payment of salary and pension is made by the Department of Education and Youth every two weeks. Therefore, the length of time that it will take to update your bank account details will depend on the point of time within the payroll cycle the Change of Bank Details form is received.

Note: When Payroll Division has received your completed Change_of_Bank_Details_Form, a member of staff will contact you by telephone to confirm this request is valid. Changes will not be made until a member of staff has been in contact with you.

Please refer to the Guidance Note for further information.
