account closure

Shutting down profile

Account closure is the formal process of terminating a financial account—bank account, credit card, investment account, or similar.

The closure may be initiated by the account holder or by the institution itself: I requested account closure after the fees increased.

Closure typically involves withdrawing remaining funds, settling outstanding balances, and completing paperwork.

The account remains on record for reporting purposes even after closure.
