if the card has not expired, you need to apply first, and then go to the bank to cancel the account after a certain period of time; If the card has passed the validity period and the account balance is zero, you can go directly to the designated bank outlet to cancel the account. When closing the account, you should bring the original valid identity certificate and card. If it is not convenient for me to go through the formalities of closing the account, someone else can do it for you. The agent must hold the power of attorney written by the principal (himself) and bring the original valid identity certificate to handle the account cancellation business.
if your card has not expired when you cancel your account, some banks stipulate that you need to go to the designated outlets to receive the card, and then go through the formal account cancellation procedures after a certain period of time (up to 3 days). This is mainly because if the cardholder has done a manual card pressing transaction before closing the account, the cardholder has already closed the account before the merchant has handed in the card pressing form to the bank for entry, so that the bank cannot liquidate normally; On the other hand, if the cardholder is in consumption abroad or withdraws cash, it may be several days before liquidation. If the account is cancelled immediately, it will also affect the normal liquidation of the bank.
credit cards can easily lead to excessive consumption. This is a common problem for people who are caught in card debt, and swiping the card does not hurt the banknotes, so the consumption of swiping the card is even more unrestrained.
