Your bank information for 2019 cannot be changed once your return has been accepted & processed.  When you file your 2020 tax return, you can change your banking information when you go through the steps to file your return.  The IRS will most likely use information from your 2019 return.  If your banking information is incorrect, you will automatically be switched to receiving a check.

@Rianna_l  No one here would know when you will receive a check.  It is up to the IRS when the bank bounces back your deposit to when they will mail the check.  It can take a couple weeks.

If my bank information is different now & there is no way to change it, how long will it take for me to receive my stimulus as a check in the mail?

If you've already filed and your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your bank account for direct deposit. If you have not filed yet, you can use the link provided below to change your bank account information:

Can you send a paper check?

If you have already transmitted or mailed your returns, you are not able to make any changes to your refund options. If you filed your return with outdated direct deposit information, once your financial institution rejects the deposit, the government will mail your refund check.
Please see the FAQ: What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit? for additional information.

I need to change my bank information before it hit the bank account I set when I filed my 2020 taxes

If you have already e-filed and it has been accepted by the IRS or you mailed in your 2020 tax return, you are not able to make any changes to your direct deposit information. If your financial institution rejects the deposit, the government will mail your refund check. If your return gets rejected, you can update your account information and any issues that caused the rejection.

If you have yet to file your taxes, you can still change your direct deposit information by following the steps here

Turbo tax keeps telling me I can change my bank information I filed and it was put in with no way of changing my bank information im frustrated because now it's going to take longer

Once your return has been filed and accepted, there is no way to update your bank account information in TurboTax. You can try calling the IRS to stop the direct deposit if your return hasn't posted to their system yet (and you're willing to get your refund via paper check).  Please see What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit? for more information.
