Cancellation Hargreaves Lansdown: Easy Method
What is Hargreaves Lansdown
Overview
Hargreaves Lansdown is a UK-based investment platform offering trading in stocks, funds and ETFs, plus retirement planning and advisory services.
The service operates primarily for UK investors but is used by international clients for investment management and execution.
Core services
Core services include an online platform and mobile app for managing portfolios, research tools, and optional paid advice from financial advisers.
Fees, terms and operational details are published on HL's UK site and in their service terms and conditions.
How to cancel Hargreaves Lansdown
Options to submit a cancellation
- Send a secure message through your HL online account to request account closure.
- Email or write to HL's customer services with your account details and a clear request to close or transfer holdings.
- Post a signed written instruction to HL’s registered address if you prefer paper correspondence.
Step-by-step cancellation steps
- Gather identity documents and the account number you wish to close or transfer.
- Decide whether you want to transfer holdings out (an ACAT/transfer) or sell and withdraw cash.
- Submit your closure or transfer instruction via secure message, email or post and confirm completion with HL.
- Keep written confirmation and transaction references until funds or holdings arrive in the destination account.
What happens when you cancel
Access to account and data
On completion, your online access to the closed account will be removed or restricted.
HL retains records as required by regulatory rules; ask HL if you need copies of statements or tax records before closure.
Orders, holdings and timing
Pending orders should be cancelled before requesting closure; HL will not usually close accounts with unsettled transactions.
If you transfer holdings, transfers are processed without a charge but may take time depending on the destination provider.
Will I get a refund?
Refund policy summary
HL does not publish a standard 14‑day cooling‑off refund for its investment services; typical consumer-style refunds are not documented.
Because HL deals with financial investments, value can fall and refunds for investment losses are not standard practice.
Exceptions and reversals
- Where operational errors occur, HL's terms and conditions describe remedies; see HL's service terms for details: HL service terms and conditions.
- Ask HL promptly if you believe an error entitles you to a reversal; retain evidence and correspondence.
