I can help you with that. Before we proceed, I want to make sure there are no pending transactions. Your current balance is $1,247.50 and I see two pending transactions — a $35 payment to Netflix and a $120 auto-pay for your phone bill. I'd recommend waiting for those to clear first, or you could get hit with returned payment fees.

I see four recurring payments: Netflix at $15.99, your phone bill at $120, gym membership at $49.99, and a cloud storage subscription at $9.99. You'll need to contact each of these companies directly to cancel or switch payment methods. I can put a stop payment on any of them from our end, but the companies might still try to charge you and report it as unpaid.

Yes, we can wire the balance to your overseas account. The wire transfer fee is $45. I'll need the receiving bank's name, SWIFT code, your account number there, and the recipient's name and address. Alternatively, I can issue a cashier's check for $10 if you'd rather carry it with you. The wire usually takes two to three business days to arrive.

Good question. Your checking and savings can be closed independently. The credit card can also be closed, but any outstanding balance must be paid in full first. The auto loan is separate — it continues regardless of whether you have deposit accounts here. You'll still make monthly payments until it's paid off. I'd recommend keeping the checking account open if your auto loan payments are set up as auto-pay from it.

Absolutely. I can update the auto-pay to any US bank account. I'll need the new bank's routing number and your account number there. The change takes one to two billing cycles to take effect, so I'd recommend keeping your checking account funded until the first payment successfully debits from the new account. I'll also send you a confirmation letter once the change is processed.

You'll receive a final statement within 30 days of closure showing the closing balance and any last transactions. If your accounts earned more than $10 in interest this year, we'll mail a 1099-INT tax form to your address on file by the end of January next year — even after the account is closed. Make sure we have your correct mailing address, especially if you'll be overseas. You can also download all your past statements from online banking before we close the account — I'd recommend doing that.
