Best Answer

Closing an account at a bank can be relatively simple if one takes the proper steps. First, find a new bank you wish to use and open an account. Then review all of your automatic transactions (such as direct deposits and utility payments) and set them up to use the new account. Once they are verified and working, transfer all of the funds from the old account to the new one - keeping in mind any fees that may be charged. Then make a written request with the old bank to close out the account; some banks have easy forms to fill out while others may require a letter.
