Remove an eTrade account Completely

eTrade is a well known online investment platform. According to our insights, they’re one of the biggest in the world. But if you have an account on their website that you’re not using anymore, you might be considering to close it. If that’s the case: Don’t look further, because I’m about to explain how you can do that with a special removal form.

How to Remove an eTrade account
 1  First, you need close your positions and orders

It speaks for itself that an account can’t contain any open orders, positions or money transfers. If that’s the case, you need to make sure they’re closed or completed first.

 2  Now we can fill in the removal request form

but as we already mentioned, it’s quite complex because the removal link you need, will depend on the type of account you have:

    Most account types (e.g. brokerage account)> Go to https://us.etrade.com/e/t/accounts/accountclosure, sign in and fill in the form

    IRA account (e.g. Rollover IRA, Roth IRA,…) >Go to https://us.etrade.com/e/t/iradist/iradistreqpage, login and fill in the form

    Other IRA account (e.g. Simple IRA or Beneficiary IRA) > Download the Paper form from https://content.etrade.com/etrade/customer/invest/IRA_Distribution_Request.pdf and send it by mail to: E*TRADE Securities LLC
    | PO Box 484 | Jersey City, NJ 07303-0484
