If you have made your decision to close your bank account. Then you can do it and the process is very simple. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close Horizon Bank account.
I recommend people close the account if there are no more using it or don’t want to use it anymore. Because it gets difficult to manage multiple bank accounts.
Before you approach the bank and ask it to close your account. There are a few things that you should take care of. Let me explain those to you one by one.
The first thing is there should be no negative balance in your account. If you have any then you will have to clear it before requesting the bank to close the account.
The second thing is once the bank closes your account. All your automatic payments and direct deposits will start failing. So you should cancel those and set up the same with your alternative bank account.
This is very important and making this change is completely your responsibility and not that of the bank. If you already have an account with another bank then that is a great start.
But if you don’t have one then I highly recommend you to open one before closing the existing one. This will ensure that you don’t lose access to banking.
There are so many banks in the United States, and sometimes it can get difficult to choose your next bank. So if you need help then read this list of questions for your new bank.
