If you want to close your bank account then the process is easy than you think. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close Bank 21 account.
Before you approach the bank and ask it to close your bank there are two things that you need to take care of. The first thing is regarding the balance you have in your account.
You have to make sure that there are no pending dues or negative balances in your account. In case if you have any then you will have to clear those.
Because until you clear those the bank will not allow you to close your account. The second thing is about the automatic payments and the direct deposits that are active in your account.
Once your account is closed by the bank all your payments and deposits will start failing. You can avoid your payments and deposits failing.
That is by setting up payments and deposits with your alternative bank account. Please keep in mind that this is completely your responsibility to move the payments and not that of the bank.
