How to Close Progress Bank Account?

There are a lot of banks in the United States of America. If you don’t want to continue with your current bank. Then you always have a choice to switch to another bank. But before doing it I recommend you close the existing account if you are no more going to use it. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close Progress Bank account.

Before you approach your bank and request it to close your account. There are two things that you need to take care of regarding your account. The first thing is about the negative balance in your account. In case if you have any pending dues or negative balances then you will have to clear those.

This is important because the banks don’t allow to close the account until all the balance is cleared. And the second thing is about your automatic payments and direct deposits. Once your account is closed all your payments will start failing. So to avoid this you will have to move all the payments to your alternative bank account.
