After liquidating investments
Wealthfront account closure requires liquidating investments first, then transferring cash out, and finally closing the account. You can't just cancel like a streaming service — your money needs to go somewhere.
Step-by-Step: Cancel Wealthfront
These steps will help you close your Wealthfront account completely. You'll need to liquidate investments and transfer funds before final closure.
01
Log into your Wealthfront account
Sign in to your Wealthfront account through their website or mobile app using your credentials.
02
Sell all investments in your portfolio
Navigate to your portfolio and select Sell All or manually sell individual positions. This converts everything to cash.
03
Wait for trades to settle
Stock sales typically take 2-3 business days to settle. You'll see the cash balance update in your account once complete.
04
Transfer cash to external account
Go to Transfer and withdraw all remaining cash to your linked bank account. This usually takes 3-5 business days.
05
Contact support to close account
Once your balance is zero, contact Wealthfront support to formally close your account. They'll confirm closure and send confirmation.
