Is it possible to shut down a bank account?

I have a HSBC current account and i would like to shut it down and not use it anymore.
Is it actually possible that i can shut it down and get deleted off the bank's system?
thank you!

You can certainly withdraw all your funds from your accounts and payoff all your loans with the bank, however, the bank will maintain your banking history with them for at least 7 years (or until they install a new computer system and someone accidentally purged your account).

Do visit your branch and speak with a customer service rep so that you can take care of all fees, pending transactions etc ...
