RE: Close My Accounts This letter is to inform you I am closing my accounts at your bank. Please close the account(s) listed below and send me a check for the remaining balance(s). If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me in writing or at the telephone number listed below.
Dear (Bank Manager's Name/To Whom It May Concern), I am writing to request the closure of my bank account with the number (Account Number). I would like this account to be closed effective immediately. Please transfer any remaining balance to my new account at (New Bank Name and Account Details).
Many banks offer several options for closing down an unwanted account. These include calling the bank's customer service line by phone or visiting your local bank branch. It may also be possible to close an account on the bank's website or in its mobile app.
Start with the correct address of the bank, subject, salutation, body of the letter stating the reason for the closure of the bank account, complimentary closing, signature and name. Make sure you provide the exact account number and other details necessary accurately.

I hereby confirm that I want to apply for credit card cancellation because of personal issues (mention the issue you are facing). I would be grateful if you acknowledged my request and closed my credit card. (One quick note: Always send the letter after paying your credit card debts with zero balance.)
To Whom It May Concern: Please accept this letter as my written authorization to close the following account(s) at your financial institution. All of my transactions have cleared and I have stopped all currently scheduled debits and credits to my account.
You say: “I direct and authorize you to close my bank account”. Usually, the bank representative will ask you why, and you may, but are not required, to give an explanation.
Contact your bank or credit union: Call your bank's customer support department or visit a branch in person to close the account. In some cases, you may be able to close a savings account online, through your online banking portal.
