If we sit counting the reasons to close a bank account. Then there are simply too many. Everyone has their own reason to quote. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close First US Bank account.
Closing the account is very easy. But I don’t recommend doing it online. The way is offline by visiting the nearest branch of the bank.
Before you approach the bank and request it to close the account. There are two things related to your account that you need to take care of.
The first thing is you have to make sure that there is no negative balance in your account. If you have anything pending then you will have to clear those.
The next thing is you have to cancel and move all your automatic payments and direct deposits to your alternative bank account.
This is very important because if you don’t do it. Then all your payments will start failing once your First US Bank account is closed.
The bank will not do it for you. You yourself will have to take proper actions to keep the payments up and running. So please take special care of these things to avoid potential troubles with the payments.
