We’ll be sorry to see you go! You can cancel your Stash plan at any time in the app or online at Stash.com.

Keep reading to learn what to do before you close, and how to cancel your plan in the app or on the web.

Things to know before you close your subscription:

• Retirement Portfolios (IRA): You’ll need to close your IRA before you cancel your Stash plan. You can find the full instructions for closing your IRA here
  • Note: If you’re closing your IRA early (before age 59 ½), you may receive fines or penalties from the IRS. You may be able to avoid some fines or penalties by transferring your Portfolio to another broker, also known as an ACAT (Automated Customer Account Transfer). Learn more about ACATs here
• Kids Portfolio(s): You’ll need some help from us. Please call us at 800-205-5164 from 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. ET Monday-Friday, or email us at support@stash.com.

This should not be construed as tax advice. Please consult a tax professional for additional questions. 

To start the closing process, complete the following steps:

1. Make sure your external bank is linked. Help me link my external bank
2. Turn off auto-invest for your accounts. How do I turn off auto invest?
3. Sell all of the investments in your IRA and wait for them to settle (up to 3 business days). I need help selling my investments
4. Wait for any recent deposits to be available to withdraw (up to 6 business days). How can I make a withdrawal?

Other notes about canceling your Stash plan:

• When you close your Personal brokerage account, all of your investments will be sold. Proceeds will be returned to you through your external linked account.
• We recommend transferring your Stash banking account balance to your external bank account before cancel your plan.
• If you have an external bank account linked to Stash when your account is closed, we’ll automatically send your remaining balances to that account.
• If you don’t have an external bank account linked when your account is closed, we’ll mail you a refund check for the remaining balance. It can take 7-10 business days to receive the check.
• If you receive direct deposit into your Stash banking account, please update your direct deposit information with your employer.
• If you get a tax document, we will notify you via email, even after your subscription is closed. This email will include a link to access your tax documents on our website. Login with your same username and password.
