You can open a new account with any bank and close your existing account. There is no one to stop you from doing it, not even the bank. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close Bank of Hope account.
The bank can not stop you but there are a few things you should keep in mind. These are nothing but the basic terms and conditions of the bank and not any complicated things.
The first thing is there should be no pending dues or negative balance in your account. If you have any then you need to clear all the dues before approaching the bank.
The next thing is once your account is closed by the bank. All the automatic payments and direct deposits will start failing. The reason is the account is no more active.
So to make sure all the payments are running smoothly you have to cancel all those. And set up the payments from your alternative bank account.
In case you don’t have an alternative account with you. Then I highly recommend you to open a new one. There are so many banks in the United States of America.
Choose a good bank for you and get your new account opened. If you need help in choosing your next bank. Then you can refer to this article.
