If you don’t want to use any bank account then you have full freedom to close it. But there is a proper process that you have to follow. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close Carver Federal Savings Bank account.
This bank is normally known as Carver Bank as well. Before you can approach the bank and ask it to close your account. There are two things which should be taken care of by you.
The first thing is you will have to check your account balance. And if you have any negative balance or pending dues in the account. Then you will have to clear those.
The second thing is you need to take care of all your automatic payments and direct deposits. Because once your account is closed by the bank. All your payments will start failing.
You can move all your payments to your alternative bank account. By doing this you can make sure that all your payments are running without any issues.
If you have an alternative account with you then that is fine. But in case if you don’t have. Then I highly recommend you to get a new account opened before you close your existing account.
And I do not recommend you close the account online. That is because if there are any complications with your account. Then your closure request will be rejected by the bank. So follow the offline method explained below.
