Sunrise Bank is one of the many commercial banks that are operating in Nepal. And today’s guide is for the people who have an account with this bank. But no longer want to be a part of its customer base. There is no doubt that Sunrise Bank is a good one. But everyone will be having their own reason to close the account. In this guide, I will explain to you the complete steps you need to follow to close Sunrise Bank account.
Once you request to close your bank account you will not be able to use it anymore. So before you close it down I recommend you to download your account statements for at least the last 6 months to 1 year. Also, the automatic payments will not work once the process of closing down starts. So cancel all your automatic payments from your Sunrise Bank account and set up them from your alternative bank account.
Before you reach the bank to close your account there are a few things you should take care of. The first one is there should be no negative balance or dues pending in your account. If you have any then you should take steps to clear all those dues first. If you need help with the dues of negative balance then you can contact your bank. And the second thing is your bank account balance should be zero on the day you are closing it.
