Relay: Closing Your Account

How to close your Relay account

Can I Close My Account Online?

Relay customers cannot close their bank accounts online; if you want to close your account, you must contact the Realy Support Team.

If you wish to close only an individual sub-account (Checking or Savings) within your Relay business account, please see How to Delete Individual Checking or Savings Accounts.

Please review the steps below before contacting the Relay team to request an account closure.

What Steps Do I Need To Take To Close My Account?

  1. If any funds remain in your account, we recommend disbursing them to your external bank account. In the Payments tab of your Relay account, you can issue an ACH, wire, or check to your external account (please note the respective processing timelines and fees).
  2. Additionally, should you require statements at any point from your Relay account, please download them prior to requesting account closure. Once your account has been deactivated, you can no longer log into your account to access any statements.
  3. Once your account balance is at $0, there are no pending transactions within your account, and you've downloaded any required statements, please get in touch with the Relay team to close your account.
