How to delete your Brigit account
To delete your Brigit account, log in to the app or website, go to Settings, select Account, and choose Delete Account. Brigit will ask you to confirm the deletion and may require you to verify your identity. The process takes a few minutes, and your account will be permanently removed within a few business days. Any pending transfers or outstanding balances must be resolved before deletion.
Brigit is a financial app that offers cash advances and budgeting tools. If you no longer use it or want to remove your financial data from their servers, deletion is straightforward. Unlike some financial services, Brigit does not require you to call customer support or submit forms by mail — the entire process happens in the app.
Key Takeaways
- You can delete your Brigit account directly through the app or website Settings menu without contacting support.
- Any outstanding cash advances or membership fees must be paid before you can complete the deletion.
- Your account data is removed from Brigit's servers within a few business days after you confirm deletion.
- If you have pending transfers or linked bank accounts, disconnect them before starting the deletion process.
Steps to delete your account in the Brigit app
Open the Brigit app and log in with your username and password. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner, then select Settings. From the Settings menu, look for Account or Account Settings — the exact label depends on your app version.
Scroll down to find the Delete Account option. Tap it and read the confirmation message, which will remind you that deletion is permanent and that any outstanding balances must be paid first. If you have unpaid advances or membership fees, you will not be able to proceed until those are settled. Once you confirm, Brigit will send a verification code to your email address or phone number. Enter that code to complete the deletion request.
What happens to your data after deletion
Once you confirm deletion, your Brigit account becomes inactive when ready, but the actual removal from their servers takes a few business days. During this time, you will not be able to log back in, and the app will no longer show your account information. Any linked bank accounts are disconnected, and Brigit stops accessing your financial data.
Your transaction history and personal information are deleted from Brigit's active systems, though they may retain records for legal or tax purposes for the time required by law. If you had any pending cash advances or transfers in progress, those are cancelled. You will not be charged for membership or advances after deletion is complete.
Resolving outstanding balances before deletion
If you have an unpaid cash advance, you must repay it before Brigit will let you delete your account. Log into the app, go to your Advances or Loans section, and check the balance. You can repay directly through the app using your linked bank account — the payment typically processes within one to two business days.
If you have an active Brigit+ membership, any remaining membership fees must also be cleared. You can cancel your membership in the Settings menu under Subscription or Membership, which stops future charges. However, any fees already charged must be paid before account deletion. Contact Brigit support through the app's help section if you are unsure whether you have outstanding charges.
Deleting your account on the Brigit website
If you prefer to delete your account through a web browser instead of the app, log into your Brigit account at brigit.com. Click your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner and select Account Settings. Look for the Delete Account or Close Account option — it is usually near the bottom of the settings page.
The website deletion process is identical to the app: you will be asked to confirm, verify your identity, and settle any outstanding balances. After you submit the deletion request, you will receive a confirmation email. Your account will be fully removed within a few business days.
What to do if you cannot delete your account
If the Delete Account button is greyed out or unavailable, you likely have an unpaid balance or pending transaction. Check your Advances section and your Membership status to see what is holding up the deletion. Pay any outstanding amounts, wait for the payment to process, and try again.
If you have tried to resolve the balance and the delete option still does not work, contact Brigit support through the app. Open the Help or Support section, select Contact Us, and describe the problem. Support can see your account status and tell you exactly what needs to be cleared before deletion is possible. Response times are usually within one business day.
Alternatives to full deletion
If you want to stop using Brigit but are not ready to permanently delete your account, you can straightforward stop logging in and uninstall the app. Your account will remain inactive, and Brigit will not charge you for membership or advances if you do not use the service. You can reactivate it later by logging back in.
If you want to keep your account but remove your linked bank account, go to Settings and select Connected Accounts or Linked Banks. Disconnect your bank account there — this stops Brigit from accessing your financial data while keeping your account intact. This is useful if you want to preserve your account history but do not want Brigit monitoring your balance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover my Brigit account after I delete it?
No. Deletion is permanent, and Brigit does not restore deleted accounts. If you think you might want to use Brigit again in the future, consider disconnecting your bank account instead of deleting the account entirely. You can reactivate a dormant account by logging back in.
Will deleting my Brigit account affect my credit score?
Deleting your account does not directly affect your credit score. However, if you have an unpaid cash advance, paying it off before deletion is important for your credit history. Brigit reports to credit bureaus, so unpaid balances can lower your score regardless of whether you delete the account.
Do I need to uninstall the app after deleting my account?
No, but you can if you want to. Uninstalling the app is optional — it straightforward removes the app from your phone. Your account deletion is separate from the app installation. You can delete the account and keep the app, or uninstall the app and keep the account inactive.
How long does it take for Brigit to completely remove my data?
Your account becomes inactive when ready after you confirm deletion, but Brigit takes a few business days to remove your data from their servers. You will not be able to log in right away, and the app will show an error if you try. Complete removal usually happens within three to five business days.
What if I have a pending cash advance when I try to delete?
You cannot delete your account while a cash advance is pending or unpaid. Wait for any pending advances to complete or be cancelled, then pay off the balance. Once the balance is zero, the Delete Account option will become available.
