# Recreate Your Partner Account

Once your partner account has been set up to be paid out in a certain currency, you can't change that currency in the settings. You'll need to create a new partner account with the currency you want, then either migrate your existing contracts or reapply to your brand programs.

#### Recreate your account as a partner

In these steps, we'll refer to your pre-existing partner account as your *legacy* account, and the account you're creating as your *new* account.

1. [Reach out to your brands](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/contacting-a-brand/access-brand-contact-information.md) to inform them of your intention to create a new partner account and to confirm their co-operation.
2. [Create](https://app.impact.com/signup/none/create-new-mediapartner-account-flow.ihtml) and set up a new partner account with your desired [payout currency](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/how-do-partners-get-paid.md).
3. On your *new* account, join your desired programs.
   * You can do this by reapplying to the programs or by arranging to migrate your contract.
4. On your legacy account, follow the steps to [expire all your contracts](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/account-management/account-settings/account-management/how-do-i-close-my-partner-account.md#step-1-expire-your-contracts-0-0), and [confirm that all funds have been withdrawn](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/account-management/account-settings/account-management/how-do-i-close-my-partner-account.md#step-2-confirm-that-all-funds-have-been-withdrawn-0-1).
   * Alternatively, to avoid having to withdraw your balance, you may qualify to have your balance transferred from the *legacy* account to your *new* account. impact.com will do this only in the following cases:
     * impact.com doesn't support the *legacy* account's chosen currency
     * Your country of origin doesn't support the *legacy* account's currency
     * impact.com made an error with your *legacy* account currency
5. Once you've confirmed complete contract expiration and balance withdrawal (or transfer) from your legacy account, submit a [support ticket](https://app.impact.com/support/portal.ihtml) requesting the deactivation of your *legacy* account.
   * See [How Do I Close My Partner Account?](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/account-management/account-settings/account-management/how-do-i-close-my-partner-account.md) for more details.

**Important:** Once your *legacy* account is closed, be sure to only use content & tracking links from your *new* account, otherwise you won't receive credit for driving actions.
