Most banks will give you guidance on how to close your account but there are some simple rules that apply to most banks.
Firstly, you have to send them a letter giving the account number and state the date that you wish to close the account. You are also likely to have to provide them with some sort of identification to confirm that it is the account holder that is closing the account.
Most banks will require that you give them a period of notice before closing an account, usually a fortnight or a month. If there is still a balance in the account you will have to give them details of how they can pay out that amount, if the account is in debit you will have to come to an arrangement to clear the amount.
If it is a current account rather than a savings account you will have to make alternative arrangements to continue having standing orders and direct debits paid.
Closing a current account can require a lot of thought, it is generally best to get your direct debits and standing orders transferred onto a new account before you close the existing account. If you fail to do this, you could face charges for missed payments.
Once the account has been closed you should ensure that all paperwork related to the account is destroyed, preferably using a shredder. Identity theft is a growing problem with criminals increasingly able to make maximum use of minimum information. With a statement or bank account they can create a new account which could prove expensive or time consuming for you to resolve.

How to write application to bank for opening a new account

Just withdraw all your money, every single last cent and then just forget about it because it should bare no relevance to your life anymore. When you start doing it the way your bank asks you to you just end up getting harrassed by their sales department and your details will probably get sold to other financial organizations for marketing purposes.
Some accounts automatically close if they hold no money but most will shut down after about 6-12 months of zero activity.

Never keep it open when you do not want it. If that is an account that needs AQB maintenance than you will start getting charges applied on your account for not maintaining it.

Just one letter and couple of documents and you are free from the hassles that may occur in future from that account if you keep them open.
