If you think you no more need a bank account. Then the best thing you can do is close it. It is not a good thing to have too many unused bank accounts. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close New Millennium Bank account.
The process is very easy. But I do not recommend you try closing the account online. Instead of that, you can close it by following the offline method that I have explained below.
But even before you approach the bank and ask it to close your account. You have to take care of two things. Let us first discuss those.
The first thing is there should be no negative balance or pending dues in your account. If you have any then you will have to clear those.
And the second thing is you should take care of all your automatic payments and direct deposits. I recommend you move all your payments to your alternative bank account.
This is very important because once your account is closed all your payments will start failing. And it is your responsibility to take care of the payments and not that of the bank.
