There are so many banks that are operating in the United States of America. If you don’t like one bank and its service then you always have the freedom to close the account and switch to another bank. In this guide of mine, I will tell you the complete steps that you need to follow to close IBC Bank account.
The process remains very simple but you can not close the account online. Only available way to close it is the offline method. And this method requires the account holder himself or herself to visit the branch of the bank. Before you close down your existing account make sure you have an alternative bank account with you.
In case you don’t have then choose a good bank for you and get it opened. If you need help in choosing your next bank. Then I have a list of questions you should ask the bank before opening the account. Based on the answers you receive you will be able to decide if the bank is a good choice for you or not.
Other than the alternative bank account there are two more major things you should take care of. The first one is there should be no negative balance in your account. And the second one is you should cancel all your automatic payments and direct deposits set them up with your alternative bank account.
