There is a good amount of competition in the banking industry of Nepal. We have got so many banks that are operating in Nepal. But today we are going to talk about the largest commercial bank in the country. I am talking about Siddhartha Bank. In this guide of mine, I will tell you how you can close Siddhartha Bank account.
The process is very simple if you have no negative balance in your bank account. In case you have any dues pending or negative balance. Then you will first have to clear those and then the bank will allow you to close the account. You just have to make sure that your balance is Zero on the day you are closing the account.
There is no online method to close the account, the only available is the offline method. In this method, the account holder has to visit the branch of the bank and fill out the account closure request form. And in the case of a joint bank account, all the account holders need to provide their consent to the bank.
