If you e-filed:

Banking information for direct deposit is wrong or closed

If you entered incorrect banking information 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  extra weeks to receive your refund.

Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information

Make sure the address you entered on your tax return is correct so that the IRS has the correct mailing address.

for security reasons and to mitigate the risk of fraud, the IRS does not permit changes once the tax return is submitted.  You'll get a paper check,
