    Inactive bank account
    Quick question for someone who knows banking, a friend had a banking account with little or no activity for a while ,just something she opened as a promtional and very little activity was done on this account any way her online banking statement always showed the two accounts when she checked her account today that checking account had been taken off and when she called they told her it was considered inactive and to come into the bank so exactly what is the bank telling her. did she do something wrong by not using that account very often and whey would they take it off her online account. I know nothing about banking so I thought I would ask for her since she will not be able to go by the bank until Friday

    A account usually goes Dormant (inactive)after 6 months of no activity. No worries, when she goes into the bank, does a transaction, they will reactivate the account. Small withdrawals/deposit will ensure this does not happen to her in the future. If she does nothing it will eventually be sent to the government.
