Keep in mind

• Accounts must have a zero balance to be closed. If you have a balance that's too small to cover any fees associated with selling the crypto (this is known as dust or a dust balance), you can:

  • Send the balance to a different Coinbase user's email.

  • Donate the balance to GiveCrypto.org by selecting Donate Balance after you enter your password and select Close account.

  • Forfeit the funds and allow Coinbase to zero out any remaining balances, which can be done by contacting us.

• If you have a web3 wallet, transfer all of your assets to an external wallet first to avoid permanently losing access to those assets.

  • Coinbase can’t recover these assets after your account is closed and is not responsible for any losses arising out of your failure to transfer your assets to an external wallet.

• You can request to delete an unverified account by contacting us.
