# Removing yourself from an existing Stripe account

## Removing yourself as a team member
If you are a **team member** listed on a Stripe account, you can remove yourself from a Stripe account following these steps:
1. Log into your Stripe account.
1. From the Dashboard, click the Settings gear in the upper-right corner.
1. Under Personal Settings, click Personal details.
1. Scroll down to the “Accounts - the list of accounts to which you are a member" section of the page.
1. Click on the three dots on the right hand side of the page.
1. From the popup, click **Leave Account**.
1. From the warning popup, click **Confirm and leave**.
Your login access will be removed from the Stripe account.
## Removing yourself as an owner
If you are an **owner** listed on the Stripe account, you cannot remove yourself from a Stripe account: You will need to **transfer ownership of your Stripe account first**.
Depending on your specific scenario, we would recommend following the instructions:
* If the new owner is already an administrator on the account: [Transfer ownership to an existing email on your account with admin privileges](/questions/transfer-account-ownership-to-an-existing-administrator)
* If the new owner is already a team member but not an administrator on the account: [Transfer ownership to an existing email on your account without admin privileges](/questions/transfer-account-ownership-to-an-existing-user-without-administrator-permissions)
* If the new owner does not yet have access to the account: [Invite a new email address to your account and transfer ownership](/questions/transfer-account-ownership-to-an-individual-who-does-not-yet-have-access-to-the-account)
Once you have transferred ownership on the Stripe account, you will become a team member and can follow the steps for removing yourself as a team member to remove your email address from the account.
