Tickmill Close Account guide

Closing a brokerage account is straightforward when you prepare, but skipping checks can leave stranded balances, missing records or unresolved positions. This guide walks long-term investors through the general steps to take before, during and after closing a Tickmill account. It does not describe Tickmill's current closure procedure, fees or timelines, because those details change and can vary by entity and region. Use this page as a verification checklist and confirm each step directly with Tickmill's official documents and support team before acting.

Before you request closure

Start by resolving everything inside the account. Close or transfer any open positions according to your plan, cancel pending orders, and confirm your cash balance after any final settlements. Download your full statement history, trade confirmations and any tax-relevant documents while you still have access, since retrieving records after closure can be slower or harder. If you are moving to another broker, confirm with both firms what can be transferred and what must be liquidated, and understand any tax consequences of selling positions in your jurisdiction before you act. If you are unsure about tax treatment, speak with a qualified adviser rather than assuming an outcome.

Close or transfer open positions and cancel pending orders before requesting closure.
Download all statements, confirmations and tax documents while you still have account access.
Confirm transfer options and settlement timing with both the old and any new broker.
Check tax implications of liquidating positions with a qualified adviser for your jurisdiction.

Checklist: what to confirm with Tickmill

Contact Tickmill support or consult its current help pages to confirm the exact closure process for your account type and regional entity. Ask how a closure request must be submitted, what identity verification is needed, and how remaining funds are returned, including which withdrawal methods are accepted and any expected processing times. Verify whether any fees apply to withdrawals, transfers, dormancy or the closure itself by reading the current fee schedule rather than relying on older summaries. Also ask how long the process typically takes end to end and what written confirmation you will receive once the account is closed.

Confirm the required closure request format and identity checks for your account entity.
Verify withdrawal methods, processing expectations and any applicable fees in current documents.
Ask what happens to small residual balances or funds arriving after closure.
Request written confirmation that the account is closed and the balance is zero.

After closure and next steps

Once you receive confirmation, keep it with your downloaded records for as long as your local tax rules require, which is often several years. Watch your linked bank account until the final withdrawal arrives, and follow up promptly if funds do not appear within the timeframe the broker indicated. If you are continuing to invest elsewhere, apply the same verification habits when choosing a new broker. The Find my broker tool at /find-my-broker helps you work through a selection checklist, the Brokerage fee calculator at /tools/brokerage-fee-calculator estimates account and trading costs, and the Long-term investing hub at /invest-long-term collects further guides for planning your next steps.

Store closure confirmation and historical statements for the retention period your tax rules require.
Track the final withdrawal and follow up if it does not arrive as indicated.
Apply a documented verification checklist before opening any replacement account.
