I've recently changed from Natwest to the Co-op due to very poor customer service. However I have never had to close a bank account before! How do I go about doing this? Also I just want to close my student/graduate current account (the OD is paid off) and my savings account but keep my ISA open with them till the end of the financial year. How difficult is it going to be?

    Not very. Just go into branch and say you want to close it. Take ID etc. with you though!

    Cool thanks. Do you think they would want my student rail card back as well that I got for taking out the current account?
