    If there's a debit card assigned to the account you'll need to quote the number to initiate the switch.
    If you tell the new bank there isn't a debit card on the account, and the old bank contradict this by saying there is, then the switch will fail.
    That implies you need to know the no. of the DC on the donor account!

    Because of this...

    You should wait until you have received your debit card as you need that for the switch application to go smoothly
    I gave up trying to switch before the 18th as I thought I couldn't get the debit card no. for the new a/c in time (the whole point of the thread) :(
