How do I close my etoro account?

Last updated: 12 August 2026

Why do I still need to verify my account to close it?

Even when you are closing the account, regulatory rules require etoro to verify the identity of the account holder before processing any account action. This protects the account from being closed by an unauthorised party and ensures that any remaining funds are returned to the correct person. You will not be able to close the account until any outstanding verification is complete.

What happens to my data after closure?

etoro is required by financial regulation to retain certain account records including identity documents, transaction history, and tax forms, for a defined period after closure. For full details, see etoro’s Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

Can I reopen my account later?

Once your etoro account is closed, it cannot be reopened. If you would like to use etoro again in the future, you will need to register a new account with a different email address and username.
