How to Delete Mint Account

Not enjoying the purpose of any app is enough reason to discard it, especially when it involves your money.

Mint app is an excellent financial app, but if you no longer require its services, it is only right you delete your account.

Whatever your reason might be, here is how to delete Mint Account.

About Mint Account

Mint app is a free budgeting app that allows users to connect all their financial accounts in one digital space, giving them a high-level view of their financial health.

The app also allows users to track their spending, savings, and budget goals.

Through Mint, users can sync bank accounts, money management accounts, retirement and investment accounts, credit cards, and other financial accounts.

You can also track all your monthly bills through Mint and receive reminders to pay your bills on time.

After connecting your financial accounts, Mint tracks your transactions and categorizes them into budget categories for easier tracking.

Users can keep the default categories provided by Mint or create their own categories to suit their needs.

For more customization, you can add tags and reorganize transactions as needed to track your spending better.

If you’re like most users, many transactions don’t necessarily fall into one particular category.

With Mint, users can split a single transaction into multiple categories, including any fees charged.

Mint is for single users, and there is no option for shared Mint accounts.

However, two people with joint financial accounts can each create their Mint account and sync the same accounts to see the same information.

How to Delete Mint Account

Removing a Mint account is easy if you start from your laptop or desktop browser. However, mint only offers a few features on its website, not the app, so deleting your account will require you to sign in through your browser first.

Log in and Select Settings

Once you’ve logged into your Mint.com account, you should see a button at the top of the screen that says “Settings.” Click this to start deleting your account.

2. Click “Sign-in & Security” and “Delete Your Mint Account.”

There is an option in your settings called “Login and Security.” Click on it. Below the long list of options and settings, you should see a button that says, “Delete your mint account.”

If it’s not there, it’s probably because you’ve never linked any financial institutions to this Mint account.

In that case, your main home screen should have the same “Delete your Mint Account” button at the bottom after logging in.

3. Follow the Dialogs Until You Receive Confirmation

After you must have clicked this button, you will be asked to confirm your intention to delete the account. After clicking “Yes,” you must confirm your password and select “Finish.”

After that, your account should be deleted entirely.

4. Deletion Can Take Up to Six Days

The Mint website acknowledges that the deletion process can take up to four to six days.

During this time, you will receive confirmation of account deletion and a few more goodbye emails.

If you continue to receive emails, you can contact their help page. Paying attention to your email after account deletion is one way to ensure your account is completely deleted.

5. Uninstall the App

Account deletion is complete in the Mint browser version. For this reason, go back to your phone and uninstall the app to complete the removal process.
