Most people in my country have the tendency for opening bank accounts with different banks. The problem with them is that they lack funds for the accounts such that the accounts remain dormant.
What do you say?

I have three bank accounts and they do not need to maintain a certain amount of money. Moreover, they will not close despite having no maintaining balance.

I have three bank accounts. I got credit card from these banks. I have kept some money in all these accounts. I use the money to pay for the credit card fee every month.

The best way to keep a bank account active is simply by using it. Most times I just send a few cents to most of my accounts just to make sure it is active.

It’s by making use of it. I have some accounts that I use once a month and I have a particular one I use for little transactions or everyday transactions

It is stupidity to be parading many bank accounts with no funds inside. I would rather have just two bank accounts with some funds inside. Sooner or later, all those numerous accounts would become dormant.

Why should you have many bank accounts when you are not using them? I prefer to have just a few accounts that I am sure I will keep active because I am actually using them.

You just need to maintain a little bit of a balance with each one. I can't speak for everyone, but I've never had an issue with a bank, so long as I had like $20 in it.

I keep my bank account active by regularly depositing funds and making transactions. I also set up automatic transfers to my savings account and investments to stay on top of my finances.

The only way to keep your bank account active is by withdrawing funds even if it's a small withdrawal at least once in 6 months so if you have an online account then you can easily keep it active

I think one should have cash flow for them to keep transacting on the banks for them to keep the accounts active.
Yeah, there needs to be a constant cash flow for the account to stay active. But you could also get your account activated in the bank if you have not been using it for a while.

There should be regular debits and credits from your account and then your account will be active otherwise they may temporarily close it and then you will be required to complete kyc to activate it
