  • It is in the Terms and Condition you signed while opening a bank account. If a bank don,t want to do business with you they have to provide 60 Day notice or if they suspect fraud they can immediately close an account.
    Is at least 60 days notice what the banks are absolutely required to provide when making a decision to cut all ties with a customer or is it just standard practice?

    I'm not sure if 60 days is industry standard but I don't believe there's any legislation regarding minimum timeframe. In exceptional circumstances banks can serve "notice to close" with 24 hours notice, or even immediately - usually if the bank suspects criminal activity, but also for things including assaulting or threatening staff.
