Leave as is
Hello Folks,
I encountered a dialogue script a while ago, which is
actually as follows, and I was wondering if the expression
in red in the writing might be incorrect, a bit confused.
Could anybody please help me grow out of my confusion?
A: NewFin Bank, Jarrod speaking.
B: Hi, I'm an account holder at your bank.
I'm going overseas to study for a year and was
wondering if I should close my account.
A: Well, if you're planning on coming back, I suggest
you leave it as is.
B: What about overseas access?
A: You can use your current credit card internationally.
And if you want to monitor the balance, Internet banking
is available. There will be an extra monthly fee, though.
B: That's fine. I prefer to be able to track what's going on.

Shouldn't the words be "leave it as it is"?
