# Transfer account ownership

The **Primary** member owns the account, including billing and the ability to close it. Ownership can be handed to another member.

## Steps

1. The person receiving ownership must already be a **member** of the account (invite them first — see *Invite a team member*).
2. Go to **Settings → Team members**.
3. Start the **ownership transfer** to the chosen member and confirm. For security this may require confirmation and can have a short waiting period before it finalizes.
4. Once complete, they become **Primary** and your role changes to Admin.

## Troubleshooting

- **Person not eligible** — they must be an existing member; invite and have them accept first.
- **Only the current Primary** can start a transfer.
