Credit Karma’s credit scores, reports and monitoring are free, so there is no paid membership to cancel: “cancelling” means deactivating your Credit Karma account. Credit Karma’s Terms of Service (effective May 4, 2026) say you can deactivate your account through its help page, and the terms stay in force until the account is deactivated by you or by Credit Karma.
You can start on the website or in the app. Deactivating the account is not the same as asking Intuit, Credit Karma’s parent company, to delete your personal data; that is a separate privacy request, covered in the FAQs below.
Key Takeaway
- Your data: Intuit’s Privacy Statement (updated March 9, 2026) says it may keep personal information after a deletion request or after the relationship ends, as long as needed for legal or regulatory needs, legal claims or fraud prevention.
- Credit score: Credit Karma says checking your scores through it is a soft inquiry with no impact on your scores. Closing the free account does not close any credit card or loan you hold elsewhere.
- Save what you need first: Credit Karma says history stored in an old account, such as credit report history, is not available in a new account.
- Credit Karma Savings: Credit Karma tells Savings account holders not to replace their existing Credit Karma account, so check your Savings account in the help center before you deactivate.
- Help: Credit Karma’s US help center is at support.creditkarma.com.
