    You can keep them but, if you have significant money in them, thousands upon thousands of dollars, expect some of that money to go toward paying your debts.

    Sure, you just cannot hide $30k in there and not tell the bankruptcy court.

    I doubt any bank will close your checking account over a bankruptcy, They close them if you owe them money and won't pay. If you screwed them on a car loan, they might close it out of spite. But only if it was the same bank. Not another.
