How do I close my account?
If you wish to close your account, we ask that you stop by any branch location or Contact Us.

Please be advised, your account cannot be closed if you have an open credit card and/or loan with a balance. If the credit card and/or loan are paid in full, but still open, you will still need to sign documents to close those accounts.
