Close a balance account

In some scenarios, you might want to close an account holder's balance account. For example, an account holder that has separate balance accounts for their businesses might want to close one of their businesses.

To permanently close a balance account:

  1. Check if the balance account has zero balance. You can only close an empty balance account, so if there are funds left, you must pay out or transfer any remaining balance to another balance account.
  2. Close a balance account by updating the balance account and setting the status to Closed.

If an account holder discontinues their contractual relationship with your platform, you can also permanently deactivate the account holder.
