Barclays, BofA on occasion. Really any bank can if they manually review your file and get spooked.

Re: Closeing accounts!!!

OP asked for banks that would close without any cause.  Does that apply to all of the ones listed?  Barclays is the closest from what I've seen on the boards.  It's not completely without cause, but they seem to be hypersensitive to additional inquiries and new accounts according to several people's experience.  Outside of the credit crunch, I don't recall seeing a lot of threads about other banks randomly closing down accounts. 

 

ETA: Rereading I see OP also asked about too many new accounts/inquiries.  But I read it as being who is hypersensitive.  Barclays is the only one I really recall reading about being ovely sensitive.

I'm pretty much ready for AA from Barclays. I have what I want and i'll utilize and pay on it proper. If they don't like it close the account.

Re: Banks Closeing Credit Cards Accounts!!!

I got burned by Chase back in 2009 when I started shopping around for a mortgage.  When the INQs hit they closed a $0 balance card that I rarely used.  Citi burned me in 2010 when I made min payments for a few months in a row.   At the time there was a lot of  talk about the "sky falling" and everyone was saying to stockpile cash, so that's what I did.  I cut back on payments and padded cash savings instead.  Citi closed my account at about 40% UTL with no warning.  I was never late on payments.

 

This might just have been the banks tightening their belts, but I took it personal.  I won't do business with either bank again.  Seems like a poor way to treat otherwise good customers.
