Closing is a two-step process and the order matters.

  1. Withdraw everything first. An account cannot be closed with a balance in it, and withdrawals take several business days to settle.
  2. Then request closure by emailing support from your registered email address.

A few things worth knowing before you do:

  • Closing is not the same as going dormant. There is no penalty for simply leaving an account inactive with a zero or small balance.
  • If you close and later want to return, you generally can reopen using the same details, but you start from scratch.
  • Closing does not delete your records — Wahed is legally required to retain them.
