    If you decide to close your PayPal account, you should withdraw any funds in your PayPal balance and then do as follows:
    1. Log into your PayPal account at https://www.paypal.co.uk
    2. Click 'Profile' near the top of the page.
    3. Select ‘My Settings’.
    4. In the ‘Account Type’ section, click ‘Close account’ and follow the instructions.
    We may ask you to confirm ownership of the account before it is closed.
