Removing your net worth information from Credit Karma isn't a direct feature offered by the platform. Credit Karma primarily focuses on providing credit scores, reports, and financial monitoring tools. The "Net Worth" feature is usually something users voluntarily set up and track within their account by linking their various financial accounts.
So, instead of looking for a "remove net worth" button, the process involves unlinking the financial accounts you've connected to Credit Karma. Are you ready to take the first step in decluttering your Credit Karma view?
Step 1: Access Your Linked Accounts on Credit Karma
To begin, you'll need to access the section of your Credit Karma account where your linked financial institutions are listed.
Sub-step 1.1: Log In to Your Credit Karma Account
First things first, head over to the Credit Karma website or open their mobile app and log in using your username and password.
Sub-step 1.2: Navigate to Account Settings or Linked Accounts
Once you're logged in, look for a section related to your account settings or linked accounts. This might be labeled something like:
- Account Settings
- Linked Accounts
- Connected Accounts
- A profile icon or menu that leads to these settings.
The exact location can sometimes change with platform updates, so take a moment to explore the different sections if you don't see it immediately. It's usually found in a settings menu or within a section that summarizes your financial overview.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.

Step 2: Unlinking Your Financial Accounts
This is the core of the process. By unlinking your bank accounts, investment accounts, loans, etc., you'll effectively remove the data that Credit Karma uses to calculate your net worth.
Sub-step 2.1: Identify the Accounts to Unlink
Within the "Linked Accounts" or similar section, you should see a list of all the financial institutions you've connected to your Credit Karma account. Take a moment to review this list and identify all the accounts contributing to your net worth calculation that you wish to remove.
Sub-step 2.2: Initiate the Unlinking Process for Each Account
For each account you want to disconnect, there will typically be an option to:
- Unlink
- Disconnect
- Remove
This option might appear as a button next to the account name or when you click on the specific linked account for more details.
Carefully click on the "Unlink" or similar option for each financial institution you want to remove. You might be asked to confirm this action, so be sure to proceed.
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
Sub-step 2.3: Confirm the Removal
After initiating the unlinking process, ensure that the account has indeed been removed from your list of linked accounts. Sometimes, the platform might take a few moments to update. Refresh the page or the app to confirm the changes.
Step 3: Verify the Removal of Your Net Worth Information
Once you've unlinked all the relevant accounts, navigate back to the section where your net worth was previously displayed. You should now see that this information is either no longer present or shows a zero value because there's no data to calculate it from.
Congratulations! By unlinking your financial accounts, you've effectively removed your net worth information from your Credit Karma view.
Step 4: Review and Adjust Notifications (Optional)
Depending on your notification settings, you might have been receiving updates related to your net worth. After unlinking your accounts, it's a good idea to review your notification preferences to ensure you're no longer receiving these alerts. You can usually find notification settings within the "Account Settings" section.

Step 5: Consider the Implications
Keep in mind that by unlinking your accounts, you will also lose the ability to track those accounts and see related insights within Credit Karma. If you were using Credit Karma for other features related to these accounts, you'll no longer have that functionality.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Step 6: Seek Further Assistance if Needed
If you encounter any difficulties unlinking your accounts or if the net worth information persists after you believe you've removed all linked accounts, don't hesitate to reach out to Credit Karma's customer support for assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your account and any potential technical issues.
Frequently Asked Questions (How to...)
Here are some related questions you might have:
How to find the linked accounts section on the Credit Karma website?

You might also find a link to your connected accounts on the main dashboard or financial overview page.
How to find the linked accounts section on the Credit Karma mobile app?

How to unlink an investment account from Credit Karma?
The process is similar to unlinking a bank account. Go to the "Linked Accounts" section, locate your investment account, and choose the "Unlink," "Disconnect," or "Remove" option associated with it.
How to know if an account has been successfully unlinked?
After initiating the unlinking process, the account should disappear from your list of linked accounts. You might also receive a confirmation message. Refreshing the page or app can help ensure the list is up-to-date.
How to stop Credit Karma from asking to link my accounts again?
Credit Karma may periodically prompt you to link accounts to utilize their full features. To minimize these prompts, avoid clicking on suggestions to link new accounts. You might not be able to entirely eliminate these reminders, as they are part of the platform's functionality.
How to manage other data Credit Karma has about me?
Credit Karma's primary function revolves around credit information. For other data, such as your email address and personal details, you can usually manage these within the "Account Settings" section. For data related to linked financial accounts, unlinking them is the primary way to remove that information.
How to delete my entire Credit Karma account if I'm concerned about privacy?
If you're concerned about the data Credit Karma holds, you can choose to delete your entire account. This option is usually found within the "Account Settings" or a "Privacy" section. Be aware that deleting your account will remove all your information from their platform, including your credit data tracking.
How to contact Credit Karma support for help with unlinking accounts?
You can typically find contact information or a help center on the Credit Karma website or within the mobile app. Look for a "Help," "Support," or "Contact Us" section. They may offer FAQs, email support, or even phone support.
How to ensure my financial data is secure after unlinking from Credit Karma?
Unlinking your accounts from Credit Karma means they no longer have direct access to that live data. Ensure you have strong, unique passwords for all your financial accounts and monitor them regularly for any unauthorized activity. Credit Karma, like other financial platforms, uses security measures to protect data while it's linked, but unlinking reduces the surface area for potential concerns.
