To action your termination request, provide the following information:

  • Type of termination request: Specify whether the termination is for the entire account, a specific legal entity, or a specific business/processing channel.
  • Reason for termination: Clearly state why you request to terminate your account.

Confirmation of termination

Once your termination request has been processed, the authorized signatory will receive an official termination letter.

Post-Termination details

  • Reserve holding period: In the case you have reserves, they will be held for the duration specified in your agreement with us, typically no longer than 180 days.
  • Final settlement: We will return the reserve amount to the bank account we have on file for you, minus any outstanding liabilities such as chargebacks or refunds processed during this period.
  • Bank account requirements: Ensure your bank account(s) remain operational to facilitate the final settlement.

Note
