I think it's because of privacy and security. But you can give another person the power of attorney over your account, which is when you sign a form at the bank allowing that person to pay in money to your account on your behalf.

Nothing particular – what you said was perfect!

You could also say that your card got swallowed by the machine, if this is what happened.

Go in to the bank, and say "I'd like to close my bank account". They'll give you some forms to fill in, but might also ask you where you want your money transferred to.
