Best Answer

A bank account can be closed only by the individual who holds the account. He/she needs to visit the bank and sign the account closure form in order to close their bank account. No one else can do that.

But, if the account holder has given the legal power of attorney to another individual, he can act as a proxy for the customer and close their bank account.
