I am curious if many banks charge a fee if customer closes out account within a certain number of days?

We don't charge a fee if a customer closes an account within a certain number of days. Although, I have heard of other banks doing this...I think one bank in town charges a fee of $15.00 if the account is closed within the first 30 days.

These fees are common. In some cases they are meant to dissuade the check casher from opening an otherwise bogus account. You put a lot of time into opening and programming. I think this fee is earned. It can be waived if circumstance are deserving.

We charge 50$ if a customer closes their account within 180 days of opening it. Personally, I think that is a little steep but that is our policy.

We charge $25 within the first 6 months. However, we waive the fee if they are transferring the funds to another type of account (ie: checking to savings) or if they have other accounts beside this one.
