How hard is it to cancel Wealthfront?

Wealthfront accounts (Automated Investing and Cash) can be closed entirely online or in-app with no phone call required. For Automated Investing Accounts, users log in, select 'Transfer money', then 'Withdraw the entire account balance'; the account closes automatically once the full withdrawal is processed. There are no exit or closing fees. The 0.25% annual advisory fee is charged monthly on a daily-prorated basis and stops accruing upon closure, no pre-paid fee refund is needed since fees are never charged in advance. No notice period is required and no account pause feature exists; closure is the only option to stop advisory fee accrual.

How to cancel Wealthfront

• Channels: online (self-serve), in-app
• Official cancellation page: https://support.wealthfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/211007363-How-do-I-close-my-Automated-Investing-Account
• Pause/freeze: not offered. No account pause or freeze feature is documented. Users can cancel individual automated savings transfers, but the investing account itself has no pause option, only full closure.
• Account/data deletion: Clients with investment, brokerage, or lending accounts cannot have personal data deleted due to GLBA, SEC Rule 17a-4, and FINRA recordkeeping obligations, which preempt CCPA deletion rights for financial records. Non-client users (no funded account) may email [email protected] to request deletion. https://support.wealthfront.com/hc/en-us/sections/360009259711-Security-and-privacy

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
