If you keep no money in your account for a prolonged duration of time or if you dont use your bank account for a very long time, then the bank has the right to either make your account dormant or even close it. Only an active account that has a minimum balance in it is eligible to be open and in service.

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.

Can you transfer money on Memorial Day if you share the same bank account?

If your bank allows you to transfer money, then you can transfer money. If they're closed (and most banks are closed on Memorial Day), then it's going to be difficult, but you may be able to do it at an ATM or online. It's not clear what you mean by "if you share the same bank account". Transferring money from one account to the same account is kind of a null operation.

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 This account has been officially closed and is no longer active. However, if your bank account was closed due to lack of funds and put into the overdraft mode; yes. 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
