Opening a bank account is not a big deal. All you have to do is choose a good bank for you and get the account opened. And when it comes to closing the bank account people feel it will be a tough job. But in reality, it is as easy as opening an account. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close IberiaBank account.
The first thing to note is to make sure that there is no negative balance or dues pending in your account. If you have any then you will have to clear all of those before you approach IberiaBank with your closing request. This is important because the banks don’t let you close the account with pending dues.
The next thing to note is you should have an alternative account before you close your existing account. So if you have an account already with another bank. Then there is no need to open a new one. But in case if you don’t have then get a new account opened for yourself.
Once the bank takes your request and starts the closing process you can not use the account for making any transactions. At the same time, all your automatic payments and direct deposits will start failing. So make sure you cancel all of them and set up the same for your alternative bank account.
