If you are planning to close your bank account, then we are here to help you out. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close InterBank account.
Before you approach the bank and request it to close the account. There are a few things that you should take care of. Let me explain those to you.
The first thing is there should be no negative balance in your account. If you have any then you will have to clear those before you approach the bank.
And the next thing is about your payments. You will have to cancel all your automatic payments and direct deposits from your InterBank account.
This is very important because once the account is closed all your payments will start failing. You can set them up with your alternative bank account.
You have to get this done before you submit your closing request to the bank. It is completely your responsibility to take care of your payments and not that of the bank.
