What happens after you delete an account?

• The transactions that have already been imported will remain in your accounting records.

• Would you like to reconnect later? You can reconnect via Bank settings > Add (web) or Connect another bank account (mobile).

Are you using an Accountable Banking account (our own professional account)?
You can close it using the specific procedure for Accountable Banking, not the "Delete account/bank account" button.
