Closed accounts

When you connect a financial institution, the Accounts tool gathers all of the account data that it can. This may include accounts that have been closed and are hidden within online banking, but are still connected to your online account. This can result in a closed account importing with a zero balance.

It is also possible when a connected account is closed, it gets removed from online banking before the Accounts tool can aggregate the account to update balance and import the final transactions. This timing issue will result in the closed account showing an open balance within the Accounts tool.

Before proceeding, verify that the account has been closed. You may not recognize that paying off an account or bringing the balance to zero is not the same as closing an account.

Identify what outcome you want for the account. If you want to retain the account and its history in the Accounts tool, proceed to Mark an account as closed. If there is no data associated with the account or the you do not want to keep it in the Accounts tool, proceed to Remove a closed account.
