Closing a bank account is very easy. Provided if you make your account ready before approaching the bank. In this guide, I will tell you how you can close Westwood Private Bank account.
Basically, I will cover how you can prepare your account to be closed. And then the steps you need to follow by approaching the bank.
In this guide, I am not going to explain to you any online method. But an offline method. And this method works 100% with all the banks in the United States of America.
The first thing you have to make sure of is. There should be no negative balance or pending dues in your account. If you have any then clear all of those before you approach the bank.
The next thing is you have to cancel all your automatic payments and direct deposits. To keep these payments running you have to move all of them to your alternative bank account.
This has to be done before you close your existing account with Westwood Private Bank. If you don’t do it then the payments will start failing.
If you have an alternative bank account with you then that is fine. But in case you don’t have. Then I recommend you open a new one before you close your existing account.
