No matter in which country of the world you are in, you will need a bank account. And there are so many banks that are operating across the globe which will provide you this service. But sometimes we also take the decision to close the account. In this guide, I will tell you the steps you need to follow to Close ADIB Account.
ADIB (Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank) is one of the major banks in the United Arab Emirates. If you are switching to another bank or you are going back to your country from UAE. It is recommended to close down the bank account before you are leaving the country.
Before you start the process to close ADIB account. You have to ensure that you don’t have any dues pending or negative balance in your account. In case you have then you first have to clear those and then start the process to close the account.
No banks in the United Arab Emirates will allow the customers to close the account without clearing the dues. So clear those first and then stop all the recurring payments or the auto-debits you have set up in the account. Because once the account is closed all your payments can fail.
And in case you are not planning to go back to your country from UAE but just want to switch banks. Then it is recommended to have an alternative bank account before closing the existing one. Just choose the bank that you feel is the right one for you, ask these questions to the bank, and open your new account.
