account closing

Shutting financial access

Account closing is the formal termination of a financial account, ending the relationship between a customer and an institution.

Banks, brokerages, and credit card companies each have procedures for closing accounts, often requiring zero balances and written requests.

After the divorce, they agreed on closing their joint account.

The phrase also applies to ending accounts with utilities, subscriptions, or other services.
