Volksbank: cancel account - how it works
You can cancel your current account at Volksbank at any time and without stating reasons. We show you what you should consider and how to proceed.
Cancel account at Volksbank
- The termination of a current account at the Volksbank is always free of charge.
- If you cancel a checking account, you can do so at any time and without any deadlines.
- As with any bank, you can only cancel a Volksbank account if the account has funds. Otherwise, you must first balance the account before canceling. In addition, you should already have another account to which the remaining credit can be transferred.
- With the termination of your bank account, the Volksbank naturally also withdraws all EC and credit cards that are connected to the account.
Cancel Volksbank account
You can terminate your current account at Volksbank with an informal letter without giving a reason.
- In addition to the number of the account concerned, the letter must contain your name and address - and of course your request, in other words, that you want to cancel the account.
- A date should not be missing and your signature is mandatory.
- You should also specify an account to which your remaining credit should be transferred.
- Please note that the termination must be made to the Volksbank branch, where you also have your account. If you have an account with Volksbank Frankfurt am Main, you cannot cancel it with Volksbank Berlin.
