Deleting the EarnIn app and stopping all associated payments is straightforward if you follow the correct steps. This guide will help you close your EarnIn account, prevent future charges, and remove the app from your device.
To stop all services and payments, you need to close your EarnIn account through the app. Follow these steps:
- Open the EarnIn App: Launch the EarnIn app on your mobile device.
- Access the Settings Menu: Tap on the menu icon (≡) located at the lower right corner of the screen.
- Navigate to Your Profile: Tap on your profile section where your name and phone number are displayed.
- Close Your Account: Select "Close My Account" and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm and complete the account closure process.
- Receive Confirmation: You will receive an email confirmation from EarnIn once your account has been successfully closed.
Before closing your account, consider the following important points to ensure a smooth process.
Pending Debits and Scheduled Payments
Closing your EarnIn account does not automatically cancel any pending debits or scheduled payments you have authorized. To prevent any upcoming debits:
- Notify EarnIn Support: Contact EarnIn at least three business days before the scheduled debit date.
- Live Chat: Use the live chat feature within the EarnIn app.
- Email: Send a message to care@earnin.com.
- Provide Necessary Information: Clearly state your request to cancel any pending debits and include your account details to expedite the process.
Disable Autopay (If Applicable)
If you have Autopay enabled, you need to disable it separately to prevent automatic withdrawals. Here's how:
- Open the EarnIn App: Launch the app and go to the Settings menu (≡ icon).
- Manage Your Card Settings: Tap on "Manage Card".
- Access Autopay Settings: Select "Manage Autopay".
- Turn Off Autopay: On the "Turn off Autopay" screen, toggle the Autopay option to off. Tap "CONFIRM" and then "CONTINUE" to finalize.
Unlinking Your Bank Account
Closing your EarnIn account does not automatically unlink your bank account. To ensure your bank account is unlinked, you should:
- Email EarnIn Support: Send a request to care@earnin.com asking to revoke your authorizations and unlink your bank account. Make sure to notify them at least three business days before any scheduled debits.
After closing your account and addressing any pending payments, you can remove the app from your device.
