Bank of Scotland: cancel account - how it works

Terminate an account with the Bank of Scotland: how it works online

The overnight deposit account with the Bank of Scotland is not subject to a minimum contract term. You can cancel it at any time.

Log in to the Bank of Scotland website with your access data.
You have a postbox in your online area, which you can use to write messages to the Bank of Scotland.
If you call up the postbox, you will find the "Close account" item in the menu.
Simply write your cancellation request in the text field. After the transfer, the bank will initiate the closure of the account. Everything is automated and straightforward.
You don't need to do more to close your account. Upon your message, the bank will initiate the closure of the account. The remaining balance of the account will be credited to the specified reference account.

Alternatively, you can terminate your Bank of Scotland account in the traditional way by post.

The letter must contain your account number, your name and address and of course your request. You also have to provide your new bank details, to which the remaining credit should be paid.
Don't forget to put a date and your signature on the letter.
The completed letter should be addressed to: The Royal Bank of Scotland plc 46, avenue John F. Kennedy, 1855 Luxembourg-Kirchberg.
