We're sorry to see you go. Here's how to close your bank account.

If you’re ready to close out an account, we can assist with that closure by phone.

Both teams are available from 8AM EST to 11PM EST, 7 days a week.

No, you never pay a fee for closing a Capital One checking or savings account.

All balances (subtract any amounts due to us) will be transferred to your external Linked Account, mailed as a check to the address we have in our records, or credited to another account you have with us.

  • Cancel all recurring transfers, deposits and payments
  • Make sure your address and phone number(s) are up to date
  • Make sure all transactions have posted and are no longer pending

In some cases, you can close your account online. If online isn't available or you want another option, you can call us, mail or fax the information we need to help you close your account.
