I wanted to close my IDFC First Bank Account so I did some research on it.
Initially I thought I had to go to branch but after digging more and I found working solution on how to close idfc bank account online without visiting branch.
IDFC First Bank Account Close Online Process
- I contacted customer care at their official toll free number.
- Over call, I asked them to send account closure link.
SMS received on Registered Mobile Number-
Dear Customer, click: https://idfcfr.in/3XXm to proceed with closure of your A/C 0112. Link is valid for 6 hours. SR for closure is #10683xx3. Please note: Any ECS or Auto-Debit linked to this account will be discontinued. Team IDFC FIRST Bank
- Once I got the link, I clicked on it and a form opened.
- I filled and submit the form.
- My IDFC First bank account was closed in 3 days.
Important Note: Keep in mind they will try to convince you to not close the account. And may even say that it is not possible online. If so, say that one of your friend closed the account by this method. If they still deny wait for 1 hour and call again eventually someone will do it.
