Last updated: 24 October 2026
Before you delete your account
Deleting your account is permanent. Before you start, make sure you have:
- withdrawn any money left in your balances;
- closed your active savings accounts;
- settled your group contributions and any loan repayments still due.
Delete your account in the app
- 1Open the Tontiin app and sign in.
- 2Tap the "Profile" tab at the bottom of the screen.
- 3Scroll to the bottom and tap "Delete Account".
- 4Read the notice, then tick the box to confirm you have withdrawn your funds.
- 5Tap "Permanently Delete Account".
Delete your account without the app
If you no longer have the app or cannot sign in, email us with the subject "Delete my account", giving your full name and the phone number on your Tontiin account. You can also call us.
To protect your account, we check that the request comes from you by sending a code by SMS to that number. We then delete the account and confirm to you that it is done.
The data we delete
- Immediately: access to your account and all your sign-in sessions.
- Within 30 days: your profile (name, email address, photo), your PIN, your device and notification identifiers, and any other personal data the law does not require us to keep.
The data we must keep
As a financial service, Tontiin is required by COBAC regulations and CEMAC Anti-Money Laundering Regulation No. 01/16/CEMAC/UMAC/CM to keep some records after an account is closed:
| Data | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Identity documents and verification history (KYC) | At least 10 years |
| Transaction, savings, loan and group contribution history | 10 years after the account is closed |
| Suspicious transaction reports and investigation records | As long as the law requires |
These records are stored securely, used only to meet our legal obligations, and deleted at the end of the period. Members of your savings groups still see the contributions you made in the group's history.
