In Jackson's own words: "The Bank, Mr. Van Buren, is trying to kill me, but I will kill it!" And kill it he did. In 1832, the Bank had to be re-chartered, and because Jackson's intentions were known, the Bank became a major election issue. But when the time came, Jackson vetoed the charter and disbanded the bank. The funds went to local banks and western "pet banks."
Jackson vetoes the bank re-charter bill. He never hid his dislike of the bank.
Biddle was the president of the bank and certainly did not intend to kill it, but his challenge to Andrew Jackson to have the charter renewed in an election year did result its demise, so in a sense he helped kill it.

Jackson killed it by campaigning against the renewal of its charter and when that effort succeeded, he sped its death by ordering federal funds to be withdrawn from it.He became president and took back all of the government loans, so then the bank had no money. which killed the bank

Pet Bank: In 1832, Jackson told his running mate, Martin Van Buren, that the BUS(Bank of the United States) was a "monster" that corrupted "our statesman" and wanted "to destroy our republican institution." "The bank, Mr. Van Buren, Is trying to kill me, but i will kill it." After Jackson's reelection in 1832, he tried to kill the BUS before its charter ran out in 1836. He appointed a secretary of the treasury who was willing to place all government funds in certain state banks. the banks were called "pet banks" because of their loyalty to the demoratic party
Andrew Jackson removed all of the money from the second national bank and moved it all into 23 "pet banks". Historians still debate today whether or not his actions were legal because the bank still had 4 years left under its charter.
Jackson felt the bank was unnecessary and that the federal government had no business allowing the bank to exist. Jackson viewed the bank as too powerful and run but an elite few.
When the time came to renew the Bank's charter (because the current one did not expire until 1836), Jackson was sick in bed and vetoed the bill. In bed, Jackson even said to his friend Martin Van Buren, (who was vice president at the time, and will be the next president, #8.) "The bank, Mr. Van Buren, is trying to kill me. But I will kill it!" Jackson was clearly against the bank due to his "poor" uprising unlike the other presidents.
Andrew Jackson opposed the first National Bank because he disliked the people running the national bank.
Jackson removed the bank's federal funds and placed them in state banks.
