permanently closed

Permanently closed means in a state in which an account has been closed on a lasting basis and is not intended to be reopened.

In plain English

This describes an account that has been shut down for good. The closure is meant to last rather than be temporary, and reopening is not part of the intended outcome.

In context

Here, it reports that the account's closure has been completed on a lasting basis and is not intended to be reopened.

Situation
Account recovery, locked-account support, reactivation, and closure requests
What it communicates
reports that the closure process is complete and final

Meaning limits

By itself, this term does not say why the account was closed or what other effects follow from that status.

Examples

“After the balance reached zero, the account was permanently closed rather than put on temporary hold.”

Core meaning

“Months later, the old account remained permanently closed.”
