Hello Money is a payment gateway for domestic and international money transfers and digital payments. It’s a quick and easy solution to receiving payments worldwide. HelloMoney records every last transaction you make on the platform. They make this transaction history available so you can review and check your payment status anytime you want.
No doubt if you already have a Hello Money account you know that you can check all of your transaction histories on demand by clicking the clock icon in the bottom-right corner and opening the Activity tab. If you navigate further you’ll also find out that there is no way to delete this history. When you click on a payment option it simply shows payment details and says if it’s pending or completed.

That said, it means that deleting your Hello Money transaction history is not possible, you can’t completely remove your payment activities (only move it to archives), especially since the government made a financial policy that regulates how monetary transactions are recorded and kept. The Archive button helps you streamline the “My Recent Activity” section and keep your transactions for quick reference. You’ll also find an option to download your history.
Where you don’t even want to see your Hello Money transactions history in which case I would suggest you delete your whole account and create a new one as there’s no need to make them private because they already are, but before you start the process it’s important that you download your transaction report.
