The Basic Banking is perfect for the ones who write only a few checks or keep a small checking balance.
That is me! So how do I apply?
Sir, first you need to fill out this form. If you do it now I can submit it as soon as today.
I’m afraid I don’t have the time to do so now.. Can we do this tomorrow?
Absolutely. Just ask for me at the front desk. My name’s Denice.
I’ll do that, thanks.
Hello Denice. How are you doing?
I’m doing good. How can I help you today?
Well, I would like to close my checking account.
Oh.. but if you don’t mind me asking, what happened, Sir? You've been such a good client.
Yes, you’re right. But this bank has been the worst. I’d like to use the services of another bank.
And I don’t mean to be rude but I've made up my mind so please just tell me what I need to do.
Sure Sir. You will need to fill out an account closure form.
