is there fees for transferring checking accounts to another bank?

Answer 1

There should not be any fees associated with this. You simply open an account at your new bank and then close out your account at your old bank. The only fees should be whatever the requirements are for a deposit amount at your new bank to open the new account.

Answer 2

You will not be able to transfer per se, but as others stated, open a new account and close the other.
Your current bank may put a 30 day hold on your account to close it to make sure there aren't any outstanding checks or transactions that will hit a zero balance.
You can be pro active and take your check book with you and show them that all of your checks have come in and that you haven't made any ATM transactions lately.
They appreciate it if you bring in all of your documentation with you.
warning: if any of your checks haven't come back if they hit a zero balance you will get hit with huge overdraft charges, so make sure all checks and transactions are current.
Good luck!

Answer 3

No , Just use a last check to write yourself one for the balance of the old account ,
And then deposit it in your new one .

The old one will close when the balance hits 0 ,
But notify them anyway , esp if you have an account that has monthly maintenance fees .
