Within the Settings menu, you’ll see different sections that control your account’s preferences and security options.

What Happens After You Delete Your Mint Account?

Once your Mint account is deleted:

• All transaction data associated with your account will be permanently erased.
• Any sub-accounts linked to your Mint profile will also be deleted.
• You will no longer have access to your account or any stored financial information.

It’s important to note that Mint account deletion is managed through Intuit, so your data will be removed from their system as well.

Things to Consider Before Deleting Your Mint Account

Download Your Data First

Before proceeding with the deletion, it’s recommended that you download a copy of your financial data. Once the account deletion is initiated, you won’t have access to your data anymore, and the process can take up to 45 days to retrieve any requested data before deletion.

What to Know About Deleting an Intuit Account

Since Mint is connected to Intuit, deleting your Mint account means you will also delete your Intuit account. Be sure this is what you want, especially if you use other Intuit services like TurboTax or QuickBooks.

Conclusion

Deleting your Mint account is a straightforward process, but it’s important to ensure you understand the implications, including the permanent removal of your financial data. Following this guide will help you close your account smoothly and safely.

Mint is a popular tool for managing finances, but if you no longer need the service, deleting your account will help protect your privacy and ensure your data is no longer stored in Intuit’s database.
