Notice to Terminate Joint Account

If you need to close an account that you share with someone else, this is the form for you.  This form gives you a template for requesting a “hard close,” which is the only way to make sure that an account is truly closed and prevent new charges to it.

See below for a full product description.

  • Product Details

    • Use this form to notify credit card issuers and banks of your plan to close a joint account -- for instance, an account you share with a spouse whom you are divorcing.

    This form gives you a template for requesting a “hard close,” which is the only way to make sure that an account is truly closed and prevent new charges to it. You can do a “hard close” even if there is a balance due.

    Important to Know

    • Send the form to the customer service address on your statements -- not to the address where you send payments.
    • Don’t forget home equity lines of credit.
