If you open an account with any of the banks in the United States or around the globe. You also have the right to close it if you don’t want to continue your financial relationship with that particular bank. In this guide, I will tell you the complete steps that you need to follow to close Prosperity Bank account.
You have the right to close it but at the same time, you also have to keep in mind the terms and conditions of the bank. One of the most basic conditions you have to follow is that of the negative balance and dues. If you have any dues pending the account.
Then the bank will not allow you to close the account until you clear all the dues. And in case if you are closing the account too early after opening it. Then the bank will ask you to pay the account closing charges. These are basic things but need to be followed while closing the account.
Before you close your existing account with the Prosperity Bank. I highly recommend you to have an alternative bank account with you. Once the bank starts the process of closing your account. You can not use it to make any kind of transaction even if you have any emergency.
