How to Delete a Personal Capital Account

Personal Capital is a wealth management service that helps you monitor your portfolio of investments, plan for retirement, and track your financial progress. You can use it as a free tool for your basic financial planning, or you can use it primarily to manage your asset investments with a minimum balance of $100,000.

While a Personal Capital account is great for managing your finances, you may want to delete your account for different reasons like high fees for using the services. You may also have forgotten your password or no longer use the account.

DoNotPay's Delete Old Accounts product offers you an easy and convenient way to delete your Personal Capital account while protecting your data. You'll only need to submit the required information and prove that the account is yours. DoNotPay will contact Personal Capital and get your account deleted in no time.

How to Delete Personal Capital Account by Yourself

Personal Capital allows you to delete your account in five quick steps. However, if you have been an investment client with over $100,000 balance in your account, you may need to contact your designated advisor or Personal Capital customer support at support@personalcapital.com.

Otherwise, you can delete your Personal Capital account in the following steps.

1. Go to Personal Capital and log in to your account.
2. Click on the down arrow at the far right corner next to your name on your dashboard.
3. On the dropdown menu that appears, find "Settings" and click on it.
4. Scroll down the Settings page and click on "Delete User Account" at the bottom of the page.
5. You'll be prompted to enter your password to confirm your identity.
6. After entering your password, you'll be required to type "DELETE" in CAPS to confirm your decision to delete the account.

Your records will be removed from Personal Capital's database, and you'll receive an email from customer support confirming that your account is closed.
