How to write a Account Balance Disposal request to your bank to transfer the remaining balance on your bank account to a new bank account elsewhere?
If your bank forces you do (immediately) close your bank account, you will need to make sure your funds are safe and directly send them a formal 'Account Balance Disposal letter'. There can be many reasons why banks will ask you to close your account, and mainly they will refer to 'security reasons' or 'nonconformities with their policy', without giving you a proper explanation. It's useful to protest, just make sure that you get your funds out safe and quick.
