Before you approach the bank you have to make sure that you don’t have any negative balance in your account. Because if you have any then the bank will not allow you to close the account. So you will first have to clear all the dues and then you can approach the bank.
And once the bank takes your request and the closing process starts. You can not use your account for any transactions. So you will have to make sure that you have an alternative bank account with you. I am talking about an account with another bank.
If you already have one then there is no need to open a new account. But if you don’t have one. Then I highly recommend you to open one with another bank. However, there are so many banks that are operating in the United States of America.
