You can close a Morgan Stanley checking account by contacting the company over the phone, in person or through the mail. Once you’ve made contact through your chosen method, verify your identity and account information, then instruct the representative to complete the closure.
Before you close your account, confirm you do not have any pending transactions to ensure a smooth transition. Also, download or print your statements because you may lose access to them once the account is closed. Morgan Stanley does not allow you to close your account online.
How to Close Your Morgan Stanley Checking Account
Over the Phone – Cancel your Morgan Stanley checking account by calling the company’s customer service phone number at 866-227-2256. You will have to provide your personal and account information to verify your identity.
At a Branch – Walk in or make an appointment at a branch location to close your account. You can find the Morgan Stanley branch closest to you by using the locater tool on the company’s website. Bring a government-issued ID and the debit card associated with the account.
Through The Mail – You can also close your Morgan Stanley checking account through the mail. Send the request to the individual branch for completion.

How much is the Morgan Stanley overdraft fee?
Morgan Stanley does not charge an overdraft fee because it will not approve transactions that would overdraw your account. If you want to avoid having transactions get declined due to insufficient funds, you could sign up for the Morgan Stanley overdraft protection service. This allows you to transfer funds from a linked Morgan Stanley second checking account to cover the purchase. Morgan Stanley charges a $5 fee each time you use overdraft protection.
