How to change switch primary account?
Assuming you mean switching the primary account in a banking app or service (common use-case): Most apps that support multiple accounts allow you to set a default or primary account in the account settings or profile. The exact steps depend on the bank or service, but generally: (1) open the app → go to Accounts or Profile; (2) locate a context menu or settings icon near the account list; (3) choose Set as Primary or Make Default on the account you want. If the option isn’t visible, check the app’s help/FAQ for the specific flow — some apps require you to contact customer support to change primary accounts (especially for things like primary EMI or loan repayment accounts). Always ensure the account you set as primary has sufficient balance for scheduled payments, and double-check auto-payment settings after switching.
If you can tell me which service (UnionBank, Google Pay, Apple Wallet, etc.), I can give step-by-step instructions specific to that platform.
I just went through this process with my Nintendo Switch! Changing the primary account affects game sharing and online features. Here's how to do it:
Through the Nintendo Switch console:
- Go to Nintendo eShop from the home screen
- Select your user icon in the top-right corner
- Scroll down to "Primary Console" option
- Select "Deregister" to remove the current primary status
- Log into the console with the account you want as primary
- The first account to access eShop becomes primary automatically
Important things to know: - You can only change primary console once every 12 months for some accounts - Primary console can play games offline and share with other users - Non-primary consoles need internet verification to play digital games - All users on primary console can access games purchased by any account
If you're having trouble: - Contact Nintendo Support - they can help deregister remotely - Make sure you remember your Nintendo Account password - Check if you have active Nintendo Switch Online membership
Pro tip: Before changing primary accounts, download all games you want to keep accessible offline on the new primary console.

Changing the primary console for your Nintendo Account is a multi-step process that actually involves de-registering the current primary console first. The easiest way to do this is through the Nintendo eShop on the current primary Switch:
- On the Current Primary Console: Open the Nintendo eShop.
- Select your User Icon in the upper-right corner.
- Scroll down to Account Information and find the "De-register" option under the "Primary Console" settings.
- Follow the prompts to sign in and complete the de-registration. This Switch is no longer the primary console.
Once that's done, the console you want to make the new primary is super simple:
- On the New Console: Open the Nintendo eShop and sign in with the same Nintendo Account. The first Switch you sign into after de-registering the old one will automatically be set as the new primary console for that account.
It's a lot easier than it sounds, mostly just hitting "De-register" and then logging into the eShop on the new one!
Just to add to the previous answer, you can also perform the de-registration remotely through a web browser if you don't have access to the original Switch! This is a lifesaver if you've lost the old console or sold it without de-registering.
- Go to the official Nintendo Account website and sign in.
- Navigate to Shop Menu or Shop and Download History.
- Find the option to Deregister Primary Console.
- Crucially, this can only be done once every seven days**, so use it carefully!
Once you've done the remote de-registration, just launch the eShop on your new console, and it will automatically claim the primary spot. Good luck!
