Unless this has been a habit and there is a history of such, the bank could buy some very bad publicity in so doing, and, it depends on how soon the money as paid back and under what circumstances, but on the surface it does not sound too bad.

What happens to the money if you close an account and forgot there was money in there?

Actually such a scenario wouldn't occur. When a bank account is closed, the bank would release all the funds held in that account to the account holder on the same day the account is closed. Even if they can't do it immediately, they would have sent a check to the customer by post/mail. Banks cannot hold on to the funds of a bank account that was closed. It is mandatory for them to return the funds to the customer once his account is closed.

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 This account has been officially closed and is no longer active.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
