How do I close my Bendigo Bank account?

Before you close your Bendigo Bank account, it’s wise to confirm the latest requirements and follow these steps carefully.

What to Remember About Closing a Bendigo Bank Account

• You should call your servicing manager or visit your nearest Bendigo Bank branch to close your account.
• All debit balances and banking fees must be fully paid before closure. Also ensure all direct debits and recurring payments are cancelled.
• If your account shows a credit balance, you will need to provide the details of a new bank account where your funds can be transferred.

Account Closure Procedure

The standard process is:

1. Make sure your account is in credit and clear any outstanding charges or fees.
2. Contact Bendigo Bank either by phone or visit a branch in person.
3. Submit a signed Account Closure Form, which you can request at a branch or download from the bank’s support pages.
4. Provide the account details (BSB and account number) of the bank account where your closing balance should be deposited.

Final Checkpoints

After submitting your closure request:

• Confirm all pending or regular payments (e.g. BPAY, direct debits) are stopped.
• Ensure your closing balance is transferred out completely.
• Keep a record or confirmation that the account has been officially closed to avoid future issues.

Summary

To close your Bendigo Bank account:

• Pay any outstanding debt and cancel any ongoing payments.
• Contact the bank by phone or visit a branch.
• Submit the official Account Closure Form.
• Provide new account details if closing with a credit balance.

Once your request is processed and the balance transferred, keep your confirmation for your records to avoid any future complications.
