You can delete any linked account from your list in Empower Personal Dashboard. Once you delete an account, all the transactions and data associated with the account will be removed and cannot be restored.
If you wish to close an account, and retain its historical data, please refer to our article on marking accounts as closed.
The specific steps for deleting an account are listed below. This will only delete the account you complete this action for and not the other accounts linked under that financial institution.
Please note that you cannot edit your account from the 'Needs Attention' of your account sidebar. You will need to scroll down to the appropriate account-type sub-section (i.e. 'Cash' for your banking accounts, 'Credit' for your credit cards, etc.), then hover over the listing (after it is done refreshing) for the pencil icon to appear. You can then click on the pencil icon to make the appropriate changes.
