No. Once a bank account is closed, the account number remains unused by the bank for seven or more years (it varies by individual bank). You may reopen a new account with the same bank, provided the first account was not closed by the bank for improprieties perpetrated by you.

Can you reopen a credit card that you closed?

Yes, you can request your issuing credit card company or bank to reopen your credit card that you closed. I did that with one of my credit cards. However, make sure that you had a good record on that particular closed account and that you check if all the balances have been paid before you closed the account in order not to ruin your credit history.


Can you have money direct deposited into your closed account in order to reopen it?

If your account was closed by you going into the bank and withdrawing the balance of the funds to close account, no. This account has been officially closed and is no longer active.

In fact you need to deposit funds as soon as possible to bring the account into the positive and to avoid any further charges or collection issues. NO
