Deleting your Brigit account removes your access to the app and stops future charges
To delete your Brigit account, open the app, go to Settings, select Account, and tap Delete Account. You will be asked to confirm the deletion. Once confirmed, your account is permanently closed and you cannot log back in. Any active subscriptions (like Brigit+ membership) will stop, and you will not be charged again.
The deletion process is when ready in the app, but Brigit may take a few business days to fully remove your data from their servers. If you have pending transfers or outstanding balances, resolve those before you delete, because you will lose access to your account history once it is gone.
Key Takeaways
- Delete your account through the app by going to Settings > Account > Delete Account and confirming the request.
- Deletion is permanent and when ready — you cannot recover your account or access your transaction history after this step.
- Any active Brigit+ subscription will stop when ready, and no further charges will occur.
- Resolve any pending transfers or outstanding balances before you delete, because you will lose access to your account once it is closed.
- Contact Brigit support if you cannot find the delete option or if the deletion fails.
What happens to your data after deletion
Once you delete your account, Brigit removes your access to the app and your transaction history within the app itself. However, Brigit is required by law to keep certain records for tax and regulatory purposes — they cannot delete everything when ready.
Your bank connection will be severed, so Brigit can no longer access your account to monitor balance or initiate transfers. If you had a pending advance or transfer, it will be cancelled. Any recurring charges tied to your account will stop.
If you later need records of transactions for tax purposes or dispute resolution, contact Brigit support with the email address you used for the account. They can provide transaction history even after deletion, though the app itself will be inaccessible to you.
Stopping charges before you delete
If you want to stop being charged but are not ready to delete your account entirely, you can cancel your Brigit+ subscription without deleting the account. Go to Settings, select Subscription, and choose Cancel Subscription. This stops the monthly charge but keeps your account active.
Cancelling the subscription does not delete your account or your history. You can reactivate Brigit+ later if you change your mind. If you cancel and then decide you do not want the account at all, you can delete it afterward.
If you cannot find the delete option
The delete account option appears in Settings on most versions of the Brigit app, but the exact location can vary depending on your phone's operating system and which version of the app you have installed. If you do not see it, try updating the app to the latest version through your phone's app store.
If the option still does not appear, contact Brigit support through the app or at their website. Provide your account email address and request account deletion. Support can process the deletion manually if the in-app option is not working.
Recovering your account after deletion
Account deletion is permanent. Brigit does not offer a recovery window or a way to reactivate a deleted account. If you delete your account and then change your mind, you will need to create a new account from scratch.
Before you delete, make sure you have downloaded or saved any records you might need later — transaction history, statements, or proof of transfers. Once the account is gone, retrieving that information becomes more difficult, though Brigit support may still be able to provide it if you contact them with your original email address.
Removing Brigit's access to your bank account
Deleting your Brigit account automatically disconnects the app from your bank account. Brigit will no longer be able to see your balance, monitor your spending, or initiate transfers. The connection is severed on Brigit's end when you delete.
If you want to be extra certain, you can also revoke Brigit's access directly through your bank's app or website. Log into your bank, find the connected apps or third-party access section, and remove Brigit from the list. This adds a second layer of disconnection, though it is not necessary if you have already deleted the Brigit account.
What to do if deletion fails
If you tap Delete Account and the app shows an error or does not complete the deletion, try closing the app completely and opening it again. Sometimes the request does not go through on the first attempt.
If it fails a second time, contact Brigit support and explain what happened. Provide your account email address and the error message you saw, if any. Support can investigate whether there is a technical issue or a block on your account (for example, if you have an outstanding balance or a pending transfer). They can also delete the account manually on their end if the app function is not working.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will deleting my account affect my credit score?
No. Brigit does not report to credit bureaus, so deleting your account will not change your credit score. However, if you have an outstanding balance owed to Brigit, that may be reported to a collection agency if left unpaid, which could affect your credit. Resolve any balance before you delete.
Can I delete my account if I have a pending advance?
You can request deletion, but Brigit may not process it until the pending advance is resolved. If you have an active transfer in progress, cancel it first through the app, then delete your account. Contact support if you are unsure whether a transfer is still pending.
What if I deleted my account by mistake?
Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. You will need to create a new account with the same or a different email address. Your old transaction history will not transfer to the new account, though Brigit support may be able to provide records if you contact them with your original email.
Do I need to delete my account to stop using Brigit?
No. You can straightforward stop using the app without deleting your account. However, if you have an active Brigit+ subscription, you will continue to be charged monthly. Cancel the subscription first if you want to stop charges but keep the account.
How long does it take for Brigit to fully delete my data?
Your account access is removed when ready when you confirm deletion in the app. Brigit may take a few business days to remove your data from their servers completely. If you need confirmation that deletion is complete, contact support after a few days.
