Closing Wells Checking & Savings - but keep CC?

CreditMENA · ‎08-16-2012

Hey all,

I'm in the process of moving all of my banking over from Wells Fargo to NFCU (way better dividend rates, no acct fees, ATM reimbursements, etc.). I would go ahead and just transfer all of my money via check and then close the accounts - but my Wells Fargo credit card is my oldest account. It's not worth it for me to keep $2,000 in my checking just to avoid the fees - is it plausible to close my checking and savings account while keeping my CC?

yes it is.

there's no requirements of having a checking/savings just to qualify for a CC.

they might show you less "love" when you try to get a CLI and stuff, but i wouldn't worry too much about it. your spending and paying habits will still be the main determinent.
