Effectively Close and Delete a Bank Account

The picture shows a woman with a speech bubble, asking the question: How do you close and delete bank accounts?.

We add many bank accounts to our system over time, some of which may become redundant. You can immediately delete inactive accounts, but active accounts require specific closing procedures.

However, before we learn how to do this in the system, we must first know the difference between closing and deleting a bank account.

Closing a Bank Account: Closing a bank account means ending your relationship with a bank. It involves paying off balances, transferring out money, and officially closing the account.

Deleting a Bank Account: Deleting a bank account from a software system means removing inactivated bank account details from that system.
