  2. Click on Delete account.

  3. Confirm in the pop-up window that you really want to delete the bank account.

Via the mobile app

  1. Open de Accountable-app.

  2. Tap the menu icon (three lines) in the top right corner.

  3. Confirm that you want to delete the account.

After confirmation, the link for this account will be terminated in the app and will disappear from the overview.


What happens after you delete an account?

  • The bank link stops: no new transactions will be retrieved for that account.

  • The transactions that have already been imported will remain in your accounting records.

  • Would you like to reconnect later? You can reconnect via Bank settings > Add (web) or Connect another bank account (mobile).

Are you using an Accountable Banking account (our own professional account)?
You can close it using the specific procedure for Accountable Banking, not the "Delete account/bank account" button.

They always answer right away to any question I have, they provide clear answers, and they are very patient even when I struggle to understand. They try to explain in different ways. They are very helpful, responsive and friendly.

UI is great. Feature packed and very easy to use. The team at Accountable were VERY quick to respond and their team of technicians soon had a fix in place. Very happy with the level of service so far. Thumbs up from me!

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

In the world where everyone seems to be out to get small entrepreneurs and overwhelm them with new rules, more taxes and reporting obligations, Accountable often feels like the one steady partner that actually wants you to succeed, providing quick, clear and personalised support. Thank you!

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
