When I first opened my Chipper Cash account a few years ago as a college student, I was excited by the prospect of a budgeting and saving app tailored for students. However, over time I found myself not using the app much anymore. That’s when I decided it was time to close my account for good. But I soon discovered Chipper Cash didn’t make it very clear how to go about doing that. It took some digging around in the settings to finally figure out the process. That’s why I wanted to write this article – to save others the hassle.
Different Ways to Close Your Account
There are a few different actions you can take with your Chipper Cash account
Deleting Your Account
This fully deletes your account details from Chipper Cash’s systems. All your transaction history, saved details and connected bank accounts will be erased.
Deactivating Your Account
Deactivation temporarily pauses your account without deleting any of your data. Your account remains in Chipper Cash’s systems in an inactive state.
Closing Your Account
Closing your account leaves your account details intact in Chipper Cash’s systems but removes access to the connected bank account so no further transactions can occur.
The steps I’ll outline below will walk through how to fully delete your Chipper Cash account from their systems for good.
Gathering the Information You’ll Need
Before starting the deletion process, make sure to gather these key details
Chipper Cash Username/Email: You’ll need to log into your account one last time.
Connected Bank Account Details: Take note of the last 4 digits of the bank account number linked to Chipper Cash in case you need to reference it.
Transaction History: If needed for taxes or records, export any transaction details from Chipper Cash before deleting your account.
Having these key pieces of info handy will help streamline the deletion process.

Double Checking Your Bank Account is Deleted

This ensures your bank details have been properly removed from Chipper Cash with no chance of accidental future access.
