How to Close a Union Bank Account

Union doesn't want you to close your bank account, neither does TD Bank, US Bank, PNC, or Chase. Part of every bank's business model is to make closing an account as confusing as possible, so they can continue to get fees from your account.

They don't want you to know that you can close your bank account anytime you'd like with no explanations. Most banks, however, require a formal letter closing the account because they know most people don't like writing them.

You may want to close your account if you're relocating or close the account of someone who has passed away and didn't leave a will. None of that should be hard, but banks make it complicated.

Sometimes a bank wants to close your account, and a closed bank account would hurt your credit; at times like that, you need someone on your side. DoNotPay can help you with any bank closure problem in a snap.

This guide will talk about the difficult steps you have to take to close an account at Union Bank, how frustrating it is to do it alone, and how DoNotPay makes it painless.

Reasons to Close a Bank Account

There are many reasons why you may want to close an account, including:

• Online banking may be more convenient for you.
• You may be moving and want to settle all the business in the city you're in before you leave.
• There may be a bank that has superior interest rates
• A loved one may have passed away, and there's no reason to keep their account open.

How Do I Close a Union Bank Account?

You have three choices if you want to close an account at Union bank.

1. You can visit the bank in person and talk to a branch manager who may not close your account without a formal letter.
2. You can write a formal letter to the bank, wait until they receive it, and wait again until they act on it.
3. You can go online and print out the forms you need to close your account, fill out the confusing forms, and mail them or take them to the branch manager.

There are problems with all these scenarios. You should be able to close your account at any time, but if you are not a confrontational person or the bank has some small print requiring a letter, you may not be able to do it in person.

There's also the problem of being off while banks are open. You don't want to spend your lunch hour at the bank only to leave empty-handed.

The bank requires a formal letter because they know people are intimidated to write one. However, DoNotPay can create a perfect letter for you in minutes.

Don't go through the hassle; let DoNotPay close the bank account for you.
