How do I close down my bank account?

[Angelique Wandsworth]

I intend to cancel my original Avatar that I joined sl with for personal reasons but want to close my bank down my bank account first. I cant seem to find an option to close my bank account. Please can you tell me how to do this as soon as possible.
Thankyou

You would have to call your bank to cancel and then re-issue a new account number.

Deleting your account with Linden Lab will remove all payment information as well, just the same as closing another other account with a business in RL.  You can do that at your dashboard (secondlife.com) by clicking Account >>Cancel Account.  If you really want to do it in two steps, you can first click Account >> Billing Information and then click the big X to delete your payment information, but that truly is redundant.

To remove account information, go to Account > Billing Information.

Under Saved Payment Methods, you will have listed the payment info you have on file. Click the large x by each account you want to close.

If you want to close down your real life band account, the best way is to call (or visit) your bank and speak to them.  It usually entails withdrawing all your money, notifying any company or busiess that you have automatic payments set up with, maybe your employer if you have auto-deposit set up.  Decide what you want to do about any savings accounts you have set up in conjunction with your banking account.  Credit cards you have with the account.  It can get involved depending on how your bank account is set up.

 

But, if you really want to close your Second Life account and remove any payment method you have set up with Linden Lab, it's much easier.  Go to your dashboard and on the left hand side you'll see "Account"........expand the options and look for "Billing Information".  You can remove your payment method by clicking the "X" next to your saved method.

Are you asking how to cash out your current L$ balance, so you don't lose that when you close the account? If you still have another account that you are keeping, the easiest way is to log on as that old account, find your new account in Search, open their profile, and "Pay" your other account the amount of L$ that the old account has. While you're at it, any inventory that you have that is not "No Transfer" can also be given to the new account. Any "No Transfer" items are just that, non-transferrable.

Once you have given what you want to transfer to your new account, you can remove the payment info from the old account, and delete the account.
