How Does One Obtain a Special Deposit Non-Interest Bearing Checking Account - What If One Already Has a Different/Savings Bank Account

One can request a conversion of their current account into a non-interesting bearing account (and special-deposit too). The bank has a right to deny the special-deposit request, but asking kindly will often bring the results desired.
