How to delete your Webull account
To delete your Webull account, you need to contact Webull's support team directly — there is no self-service delete button in the app or website. You will need to submit a request through their help center, provide your account details, and wait for confirmation. The process typically takes a few business days, and Webull will ask you to confirm that you want to close the account permanently.
Before you delete, understand that closing your account is permanent. Any open positions must be closed first, and any pending transactions will be cancelled. If you have cash sitting in the account, you should withdraw it before requesting deletion, though Webull can process a final withdrawal after closure if needed.
Key Takeaways
- Webull does not offer an in-app or website option to delete your account — you must contact support through their help center.
- You must close all open positions and cancel pending orders before Webull will process your deletion request.
- Withdrawal of remaining cash should happen before deletion, but Webull can send a final check if you have a balance after closure.
- The deletion process takes several business days, and Webull will send a confirmation email once your account is permanently closed.
Steps to request account deletion through Webull support
Start by opening the Webull app or visiting webull.com and signing into your account. Tap the profile icon (usually in the bottom right corner of the app) or click your account menu on the website. Look for a "Help" or "Support" option — this takes you to Webull's help center.
In the help center, search for "delete account" or "close account". You should see an option to submit a support ticket or contact form. Click it and select the reason you want to close your account (Webull asks this but does not require a specific answer). Fill in your full name, email address, and account number — your account number appears on your account statements or in your account settings under "Account Information".
In the message box, write a clear request: "I want to permanently delete my Webull account." Include your full name and the email address linked to the account. Submit the form. Webull will send you a confirmation email within one to two business days with next steps.
Close all open positions and pending orders first
Before Webull will delete your account, you must have zero open positions. This means selling any stocks, options, or crypto you currently hold. Open the Positions tab in your app, review everything you own, and sell it at market price or set a limit order if you want a specific price.
Check your Orders tab for any pending buy or sell orders that have not yet filled. Cancel any that are still open. Webull will not process your deletion request until both your Positions and Orders tabs show nothing active. If you are unsure whether something is still open, take a screenshot of your account and include it in your support message — Webull's team can tell you what needs to close.
Withdraw your cash before deletion
Once your positions are closed, any remaining cash in your account is yours to withdraw. Go to your Account menu, find the Withdraw option, and request a transfer to your linked bank account. Webull typically processes withdrawals within one to three business days. Waiting to withdraw before you request deletion makes the process faster.
If you forget to withdraw and Webull has already closed your account, contact support again and they can process a final withdrawal. However, this adds extra time, so withdrawing first is simpler. Keep a record of your withdrawal confirmation in case you need to follow up.
What happens after you submit your deletion request
Webull will review your request and confirm that your account has no open positions, pending orders, or outstanding transactions. If everything is clear, they will send you a confirmation email stating that your account is scheduled for deletion. This usually happens within three to five business days of your initial request.
After the confirmation email, your account will be permanently closed. You will no longer be able to log in, and Webull will not restore the account. Any historical data, statements, or tax documents should be downloaded before deletion if you need them for your records — you can usually find these in the Documents or Tax section of your account.
read your tax documents and statements before deletion
If you traded during the year, Webull generates tax documents like 1099 forms. Before you delete, read these documents and save them to your computer. Go to your Account menu, find Documents or Tax Forms, and read anything you might need for tax filing. Webull typically makes these available in January for the previous year.
You should also read any account statements you want to keep. These show your trading history and can be useful for your personal records. Once your account is deleted, Webull will not send these to you again, so save them while you still have access.
What to do if Webull does not respond to your deletion request
If you do not hear back from Webull within five business days, send a follow-up message through the same help center form. Include your original request date and your account number. Webull's support team typically responds within one to two business days of a follow-up.
If you still do not receive a response after a week, try contacting Webull through their social media accounts (Twitter or Facebook) — they often respond faster to public messages. You can also check your email spam folder to make sure Webull's response did not land there by mistake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reopen my Webull account after I delete it?
No. Once Webull deletes your account, it is permanently closed and cannot be reopened. If you want to trade again, you will need to create a new account from scratch. This means a new account number, new verification process, and a fresh start with no history tied to your old account.
What happens to my tax documents after my account is deleted?
Webull will no longer send you tax documents after deletion. read your 1099 forms and any other tax paperwork before you request deletion. If you need documents after your account closes, contact Webull support with your old account number and they may be able to email them to you, but this is not may provide.
Do I have to close all my positions before requesting deletion?
Yes. Webull will not process your deletion request if you have any open positions or pending orders. You must sell everything and cancel all pending trades first. This protects you from leaving money trapped in a closed account.
How long does it take to delete a Webull account?
The entire process usually takes five to ten business days from the moment you submit your deletion request. This includes Webull's review of your account, confirmation that everything is closed, and final deletion. Withdrawing your cash and closing positions beforehand does not speed this up, but it does prevent delays.
Will Webull send me a confirmation that my account is deleted?
Yes. Webull sends a confirmation email once your account is permanently closed. Keep this email for your records. If you do not receive a confirmation within two weeks of your initial request, contact support again to verify that the deletion went through.
