Before we dive into how to change the Account Owner, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Only the current Account Owner can make the change.
The new Account Owner will have full access to the history of past transactions and reports.
Account Owners will have full access to your account's banking and financial information.
If you are the current Account Owner, you will no longer have access to Account Owner reports and functions after you change the Account Owner.
The change will happen immediately. As soon as you make the change, you will no longer have access to Account Owner settings & reports.
Outbound Transfers will be routed to the new bank account.
This article will guide you through adding a new account owner from outside of your team. If you are wanting to 'swap' the Account Owner with one of your existing teammates, you can learn more here.

Here are some best practices before completing the hand-off to the new Account Owner.
