Year after year, about 200,000 individuals in Quebec ask themselves the same question: How do I change my address with Desjardins? The question may seem simple, but the answer is not as easy… Do not worry! This article will help you get out of the Desjardins maze in one piece.
What you need to know !
The financial institution is subdivided into several independent departments that do not generally communicate with each other. Therefore, as the services may be decentralized, it is important to update your contact information with the Desjardins departments with whom you do business. For example, as a Desjardins caisse member, making your change of address for your bank accounts will not automatically change the address for your credit cards, and even less for your home and auto insurance.
