ByHow to Close Your Axis Bank Account Without the Hassle
While may seem trivial, correctly closing any dormant bank accounts is crucial. You want to ensure that all transactions and payouts for that account have ceased, that all debts have been resolved, and that all remaining funds will be transferred back to you.
Whether you're swapping service providers, opening a joint account, or handling finances for a loved one who has recently passed away, DoNotPay's Close Account feature allows you to bypass the back and forth account closure protocols.
DoNotPay facilitates the entire process right from the comfort of your laptop.
Reasons to Close Your Axis Bank Account
1. Fees and Requirements
You may need to quit your bank because the minimum obligations or costs are too much for you to handle. If you can't keep up with the minimum necessary deposits or the regular charges to maintain your bank account, it's time to part ways. Fees for bank accounts can be expensive and unpredictably high. Some banks impose fees for doing a few transactions per day, opening an account, overdrafts, and even simply keeping an account with them.
If you do not maintain the minimum balance, Axis Bank will tax you, which can be very unpleasant if your financial status is in the dips.
2. Seeking Greener Pastures
Sometimes you may have to close your Axis bank account because you've found a better deal elsewhere.
3. Deteriorated Relationship
You may also be forced to shut down your bank account due to poor quality of service and unprofessional bank personnel behavior. Occasionally, service requests may not be completed within the bank's stipulated time frame, and when bank employees are under pressure to sell, they might be unpleasant and nasty to you. This ruined relationship may make your customer status untenable, and you may need to close.
4. Demat Account Closure or Insolvent Business
If you had an Axis Demat trading account but closed it and no longer require the axis savings account that came with it, you may need to fold up your account. Also, if your business's principal income channel becomes insolvent, you will need to close your account to avoid minimum fees.
5. Folding Up a Deceased Relative's Financial Accounts
To prevent the accrual of charges and continuance of payment deductions such as insurance which has since become obsolete, you will need to close your deceased relative's accounts. This is also the case if you need to channel your funds into an active account.
How Do I Close an Axis Bank Account?
| Visit the bank | This is the most time-consuming method of closing a bank account, but it is also the most reliable.
