Usually because it is costing the bank more to service the account than they are earning on the money deposited * Savings account with a low balance or too many transactions. * Checking account frequently overdrawn. * Loan with late payments (but they want this one paid off and then closed).

A bank may close your account for several reasons...

  1. A consistently negative balance- it costs too much to keep operating an account that they feel is abandoned!
  2. Bankruptcy- it doesn't happen too often, but sometimes your personal accounts have to go, especially when (skip to #3)
  3. You are defaulted on a loan with your bank, and they use the funds in the account to help pay it back!
  4. They found out that you opened the account with fraudulent information! How would you feel if you found out you had an account opened in your name in a place you've never been to, like Moscow?
  5. You just want them to close your account. They may want to keep you as a customer, but they won't give you too much of a hassle if you truly want the account closed...

There may be several other reasons why your account might be closing, but these are the most prevalent. Some excuses like "they just hate me because of my race" or "they must not like young men" are not only highly unlikely but very silly as well...

How can you get a personal loan without a bank account?

You cannot. Banks usually expect an auto-debit instruction from a bank account for the monthly payments for the loan. That can happen only if you have a bank account and so you cannot get a personal loan without a bank account. Banks would ask you to open an account if you want a loan with them.
