Account Transfer

Good morning. Right before Thanksgiving we changed banks for a high school booster club. We left a credit union for a larger bank for mobile banking capabilities. I am trying to do the month end reconciliation. When we closed the bank account, they closed all the transactions so the final transaction of us removing the funds doesn't show that it occurred but it does appear on the bank statement. I tried doing a Journal entry to physically $0 out the checking and savings accounts from the credit union and transferring those funds to the new account but that ended up doubling the new bank account funds when it processed the deposit to the new bank. Any suggestions on how to do this properly?
