The closure, with “no explanation,” occurred when their card was declined during a routine food purchase, leading to concerns of being blacklisted or banned by the bank.
Sudden Account Closures Trending
In the Reddit discussions, several users shared similar stories of sudden account closures by Chase, leaving customers bewildered. The lack of clear reasons for closure has sparked frustration and confusion among those affected.
