You can close your bank account by requesting the bank. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close American Exchange Bank account.
There are two things that you need to take care of before you approach the bank to close the account. So let us first discuss those. And then learn the closing process.
The first thing is you have to check your account balance. Here you have to make sure that there is no negative balance or pending dues in the account.
In case if you have any then you will have to clear those to the bank. If not then the bank will not allow you to close your account.
The second thing is you have to take care of all the payments and deposits that are active in your account. You should move all of those to your alternative bank account.
This step is very important. Because if you don’t do it then all your payments and the deposits will start failing once your account is closed by American Exchange Bank.
