Experts Advise on How to Successfully Close eToro Account in 2023
eToro is like a big global marketplace for people who want to trade. It has been around since 2007 and serves folks in over 140 countries. It’s great for both the pros who know their stuff and newcomers who are just starting out. They even have a practice account for beginners and ways for people to earn without doing much. Sometimes, though, things don’t work out, or people just change their minds. Traders Union has got you covered with a guide on how to close eToro account the right way.
Comparing eToro account options
eToro offers trading conditions that many find appealing due to its unique features. Initially, traders need to deposit $200, but after that, they can top up with as little as $50. If you’re looking to mimic another trader’s moves, you’ll need a minimum of $500. The smallest amount you can copy from another trader ranges from $1 to $2. The leverage they offer aligns with European regulatory standards.
eToro essentially provides two main account types: a practice (demo) account and a standard trading account. Both are set up for direct trades or for copying others. Occasionally, there’s an option for a distinct shares account, especially when engaging with US stock markets.
For those leaning towards hands-off investing and keen on building smart investment strategies, eToro stands out as a go-to platform. TU’s analysts recognize its potential for those focusing on passive investment methods.
Closing your eToro account made it easy
According to Traders Union experts, shutting down your eToro account is straightforward. Here’s how you can do it:
- Online: Log in, head to settings, choose “Account”, and click “Close your eToro account”. State your reason, then hit “Continue”.
- Email: Send a request titled “Account deletion request” to Pa******@***ro.com, explaining why you want out.
- Phone: Call support at 1-888-271-8365, and they’ll guide you through.
Remember, once closed, you can’t reopen that account. You’d need a new email and username to register again.
Why do people close their eToro accounts?
TU’s analysts have highlighted several reasons why individuals decide to close their eToro accounts:
- experiencing losses because of high leverage or not mastering risk management;
- finding the trading platform challenging to navigate;
- slow withdrawal processes;
- trading not going as hoped;
- missing desired trading instruments on the platform;
- receiving too many unwanted emails or notifications.
In the past, users had to reach out to client support to close their accounts. Now, the process is more streamlined, but always ensure you’ve withdrawn all your money first.
Steps to cash out your money
Ensure the amount you wish to take out is available in your balance. To withdraw, follow these steps:
- On the left menu, click “Withdraw Funds”.
- Input the amount you want to withdraw.
- Click on “Continue”.
- Choose the currency for withdrawal.
- Check the pre-selected payment method. If it doesn’t suit you, opt for “Other Payment Options”.
- Click “Submit”.
For any queries about withdrawing funds or closing your account, eToro’s support team is there to assist.
Conclusion
In summary, eToro has cemented its place as a top trading platform since its inception in 2007, catering to both experienced traders and beginners alike. With unique features and varied account options, it offers a wide spectrum of trading opportunities. However, if for any reason you decide to part ways with eToro, the process is now more user-friendly than ever. Whether you choose to close your account online, via email, or over the phone, it’s essential to ensure all funds are withdrawn. As always, for any trading decisions or processes, it’s wise to consult platforms like Traders Union or reach out to eToro’s dedicated support team for guidance.
