Hi

I am now in UK and want to close my current account with HSBC, but if I withdraw the money that will put me below the 5000 AED limit and I will get fined - I have to send a letter from UK to close account, but if I close it first, how will I get the money out? Any ideas?

The only thing that I could suggest is that you write them a letter and ask them to forward your outstanding balance. I am sure they will levy some form of charge for this and I have no idea how much but it seems the right way to proceed.

Withdraw all the cash from an ATM in the UK (or do a wire transfer), then send a letter to tell them to close account?

The fee for going below AED 5000 is only AED 100 or so isn't it?
