Closing Your Amazon Payments Account

When an Amazon Payments account has been closed, it cannot be reopened. There is no cost for keeping an Amazon Payments account open; you can leave your account dormant as long as you want without incurring any fees.

If you do decide to close your account, do the following steps:

  1. Withdraw any remaining account balance in your account by initiating a withdrawal to your bank account. (For detailed instructions for withdrawing funds from your account, see Withdrawing Funds.)
  2. Delete any active payment methods from your account. (For detailed instructions for deleting payment methods, see Deleting Payment Methods.)
  3. Contact Customer Service to request a full account closure.

If you decide you want to open a new account after closing your old account, you can do that at any time by visiting the Amazon Payments website. Please note that we recommend you use a different email address for the new account.
