Nothing you can do.  If the bank rejects it the IRS will mail  check to the address on your return.  So that will add time.

If you e-filed:

Banking information for direct deposit is wrong

If you entered incorrect banking information  -- or information for a closed account ---   for your refund, you can change it if your return is rejected.  If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it.  The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS.  Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return.  Expect a delay of at least a couple of weeks to receive your refund.

Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information

@corterriusjohnso - because of the risk of fraud, the IRS will not permit changes to banking information once the tax return is accepted by the IRS; it's for your protection..... as others have stated, you'll get a check in the mail,
