Closing my Barclays Current Account

golders
Posts: 18 Forumite
Hello,
I have just switched Bank accounts from Barclays to Nationwide
(Better interest etc). Plus I was being silly and paying £13 a month for their Addition Plus account, and never using the services! doh.
I am going to shut down the Barclays account this week.
Can I just walk in and close it down immediatley or is their any time delay?

has all the transfer gone through now to Nationwide?0

yes, all the direct debits have switched. I have run both accounts side by side for 7 weeks to make sure. Transferring to Nationwide has been a breeze! Should have done it years ago!
Now looking forward to killing the Barclays account, and closing the Barclaycard Credit Card down and CapitalOne Credit Card down.0 -
I was just asking as sometimes can cause problems - but as you have waited, i'd imagin you'd visit branch with your debit card and cheque book and close0

You can just go to the branch to close, or you can write (returning your destroyed card/chequebook) requesting they transfer any balance to your new account (include the details).Amazon sellers club - member number 63.

Takes about 7-10 days to formally close, and forward any closing balance to your chosen account via BACS.0
