Switching banks in Canada is relatively simple; first you must identify what you dislike about your current bank, and pick a new one to replace it. Make a list of all your accounts, your automated payments and deposits, and then open your new account(s) at the new bank. Use the data you gathered to set up your automated payments and deposits in the new account(s); once you have successfully transferred all of your money and transactions over, you can close the account(s) at your old bank.
