How to Cancel Wealthfront
Skycopia rates Wealthfront as medium to cancel, though you can do it yourself online. Expect some friction and probably an offer to stay, not a one-click exit.
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Wealthfront bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Ready to cancel it yourself? Sky can walk you through it one step at a time — or just read the steps below.
Cancellation steps
- 1
Log in at wealthfront.com → click Transfer money (top of the dashboard) → Withdraw → Withdraw the entire account balance. A full withdrawal automatically closes the Automated Investing Account once it's processed — there's no separate "close account" button.
- 2
Two ways to take the money out: liquidate to your linked bank or a Wealthfront Cash Account (arrives via ACH), or request an in-kind transfer to another brokerage, which keeps your existing holdings and cost basis intact instead of selling them.
- 3
Have a separate Cash Account too? It doesn't close with Investing — log in, select the Cash Account, and submit its own close request; that also cancels any recurring transfers set up on it.
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

What should I watch out for when cancelling Wealthfront?
No account-opening, withdrawal, or account-closing fees. But liquidating a taxable Automated Investing Account sells everything, which can trigger capital gains (or losses) on your next 1099 — an in-kind transfer to another broker avoids that taxable event entirely if you just want to move, not cash out. You can still log back in after closing to pull old tax documents.
