If you no longer need access to a household you've been invited to, you can end that access at any time. This removes your access without affecting anyone else's data.
Before You Leave
Consider these points before ending your access to a household:
- Your access ends immediately - You won't be able to see any of that household's data
- You can't undo this yourself - You'll need a new invitation to rejoin
- Your own data is unaffected - Only your access to the shared household changes
Your Data Stays Safe
Leaving a shared household doesn't affect your own household or any data you own. It only removes your access to someone else's data.
How to Leave a Household
Leaving a household isn't something you can do yourself in Financio yet, neither the web app nor the iPhone app has a "leave" option.
To give up your access, contact the household Owner and ask them to remove you. They can do this from Settings → Household Members by clicking the trash icon next to your name. Your access ends the moment they confirm.
What Happens When You're Removed
- Your access is revoked immediately
- That household disappears from your household switcher, and Financio drops you back into a household you still have access to
- The Owner will see you're no longer in their member list. Financio doesn't send any notification
- None of the household's data is affected
- Your own household and data remain unchanged
Owners Cannot Leave
If you're the Owner of a household, you cannot leave it. The Owner is permanently associated with their household.
If you want to stop using Financio entirely, you would need to:
- Remove all other members from your household
- Delete your Financio account
Rejoining After Leaving
If your access ends and you later want to rejoin:
- Contact the household owner
- Ask them to send you a new invitation
- Accept the invitation as you did originally
The owner can choose to grant you the same role you had before, or a different one.
Common Reasons to Leave
The shared arrangement has ended
Relationships change. If you no longer share finances with someone, ending your access to their household keeps things clean.
You no longer need visibility
Perhaps you had Read Only access to help a family member, and they no longer need your assistance.
Simplifying your view
If you have access to many households, leaving ones you don't actively use simplifies your household switcher.
Privacy preferences
You may decide you'd rather not have visibility into someone else's finances.
Troubleshooting
I can't find a Leave button
There isn't one. Financio doesn't have a self-service leave option today. Ask the household Owner to remove you from Settings → Household Members.
My access was removed by mistake
Contact the household owner and ask them to send a new invitation.
The owner won't re-invite me
Unfortunately, the owner has full control over who can access their household. If they choose not to re-invite you, there's no way to regain access.
I still see the household in my switcher
Try refreshing the page or signing out and back in. The household should disappear from your list once the page fully reloads.
