Hence, we are here to help you in the process of closing your Coinbase account and helping you select a better crypto platform.

Things to Do before you close your Coinbase Account

How to close or delete your Coinbase Account

Closing your Coinbase account is a simple step-by-step process that can be done directly without having to reach out to Coinbase support or the Coinbase Help Center. However, we recommend you follow the closing account procedure on your desktop or laptop. As on mobile, it will redirect you to a mobile browser.

  1. Under the settings option, select Profile and click” Go to Coinbase Account.”
  1. You will be redirected to a new tab. Scroll down and click on the ‘Close account’ tab. Before clicking on closing account, you should download all your tax documents and statements in PDF by clicking on the Taxes and Statements tab.
  1. Once you click on the ‘Close account’ tab, enter your Coinbase account password.
  1. Once done, you will be asked to confirm any pending assets(coins or dollars) on your account. If you have transferred all your assets, click the ‘Close my account’ button to confirm.
