Change bank checking acct number to re-use?

[Productions]

Am I able to change a checking account number with a bank? I have a checking account number that was used with one of my banned amazon accounts, and I was wondering if I can change it and re-use it instead of opening up another checking account.

Banks I have dealt with won't "Change" the account number - they can open a new one for you and close the old one. Or just open new one and keep the old one for your own use.

Bank DON'T change account number. Just close and open a new one

Yes this is true. I have reported check books lost and had to close/open new account. However with Debit Card you can get a new number.

Its a simple matter to close one account and open another. Or just leave that one be and open a couple of savings accounts and use those.
