Swedish term or phrase: avsluta/avslutning (av kund)
Goes together my last question. Dictionaries suggest "terminate", but after having seen too many Arnold movies, at least I get the wrong associations. But this perhaps isn't true for English/British readers?

Close, withdraw, end - what would you say? It should be possible to use both from the user’s point of view, and from the service provider’s point of view.

OK, I guess I'll have to terminate Arnold and close this question. These customers will have their accounts terminated! Thanks Barry and the rest of you.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Paul Lambert: In spite of the asker's inhibitions about "terminate", I agree that it is the best. In fact, "terminate" in the sense that bothers the asker is itself a euphemism for the very thing Görel dreads.

agree  George Hopkins: A few more 'agrees' and the question will be terminated.
