# How to switch OnlyFans agencies without losing fans or history

> To switch OnlyFans agencies without losing fans or history, check your contract's notice period, secure your email and two-factor authentication, change your password and close all sessions when you give notice, check your payout details and ask in writing for your fan notes and social media accounts. Your fans, messages and content stay in your account; what you lose, unless you ask for it, is what the agency knows about them.

## Key takeaways

- Your fans, message history and content live in your OnlyFans account, not with the agency: if the account is yours, switching does not cost you them.
- What you can lose is the agency's notes on each fan, its scripts and the social media accounts it opened, unless you ask for them in writing.
- OnlyFans is not liable for compromised accounts or emails, or for unauthorized withdrawals, so securing your logins comes first.
- The BBC found contracts with exit fines and managers who changed passwords or bank details: check both before you give notice.
- If you are pressured to stay or to hand over your account, OnlyFans asks you to email support@onlyfans.com.

## What stays with you and what you can lose

If the account is in your name, your fans, messages, content and statistics stay with you: they live on OnlyFans, not with the agency. Your fan lists, your vault and any tracking links created inside your account stay there too.

What you can lose in a switch is everything that lives outside your account:

- **What the agency knows about each fan**: who spends the most, what they like, what they were promised, what they bought and what they did not.
- **Its tools**: tags, segments and notes stored in its CRM or in spreadsheets.
- **The scripts and the guide** to your tone and limits written for your account.
- **The social media accounts** it opened to promote you, followers included, if they are in the agency's name.
- **The posting calendar** and any promotions in progress.

The rule is simple: whatever you do not ask for in writing before you leave probably will not reach you afterwards.

## Before you give notice: contract, notice period and evidence

Start with the contract: it says how much notice you have to give, what you have to pay and what they have to hand over. Look at three things:

- **The notice period** and how notice must be given: by email, by signed letter or however the contract specifies.
- **Penalties.** The BBC found contracts with fines for leaving early. If yours has one, talk to a lawyer before you pay anything.
- **The final settlement**: what commission applies during the notice period, and confirmation that there is no commission on anything you earn afterwards.

Before giving notice, take screenshots of your statistics, earnings, prices and active promotions. They help you check the last invoice and show the new agency where you are starting from.

## Recover your logins without cutting the work off abruptly

The order matters: email and two-factor authentication first, then password and sessions, and payouts last. The first two steps do not interrupt the agency's work during the notice period, and they protect you if the relationship turns sour:

1. **Email and phone number.** Make sure the email and phone number on your OnlyFans account are yours. According to the BBC, at least one contract let the agency change the account email: if that happened to you, recover it before anything else. Change the password on that email account too.
2. **Two-factor authentication.** Make sure it is on and tied to your own phone, ideally through an authenticator app, and keep the backup codes somewhere safe.
3. **Password and sessions.** On the day you give notice, change your OnlyFans password and close all active sessions from your security settings. If you suspect they might lock you out, do it before giving notice.
4. **Payouts.** Confirm the bank account and payout method are yours and that there are no withdrawals you do not recognize.

Do not leave this for later: OnlyFans is not liable for compromised accounts or emails, or for unauthorized withdrawals that result. Even if your agency never had your password, changing it when you leave is still good practice. We explain how that access should work in [account security](/en/account-security/).

## Ask for your data in writing

What the agency knows about your fans is part of your business too, and you need to ask for it before you leave. A complete request covers:

- Notes on each fan and segments: biggest spenders, expired fans and fans about to expire.
- Which paid content has been sent or sold to each fan, so nobody offers it to them again.
- The tone and limits guide, scripts and templates.
- The posting calendar and planned promotions.
- Tracking links and what each one brought in.
- Logins for the social media accounts opened for you, with the email changed to yours.

Ask for a format you can open, such as CSV or a spreadsheet. In the EU and the UK, if the agency processed your fans' data on your behalf, data protection law says it must return or delete that data at the end of the service, at your choice: ask explicitly for it to be returned. This is general information; if there is a dispute, check with a lawyer. On [your data](/en/your-data/) we explain what we hand over when a client leaves.

## Do you need to tell your fans?

Usually you do not need to announce anything; what you need is for fans not to notice an abrupt change. Your relationship with your fans is yours, and OnlyFans' contract with fans states that third parties may help creators run their accounts. What does bother fans is a sudden change of tone, nobody remembering what they shared or being offered something they already bought.

If the switch brings visible changes, such as a new schedule, new prices or more content, present them as improvements to your account. And do not criticize the previous agency in public: it gains you nothing and can complicate things if there is a dispute.

## Handing over the chat without losing sales

The real risk in switching agencies is not losing fans overnight, but conversations going cold during the transition weeks. To avoid it:

- **Set a handover date**, with no days when the chat is unattended and no days with two teams replying at once.
- **Have the new team read before writing**: the recent history of your biggest spenders and the notes you recovered.
- **Prioritize** fans with open conversations, recent purchases or subscriptions about to expire.
- **Keep prices and tone the same** for the first few weeks: measure first, change later.
- **Review after 30 days** with your statistics in hand.

If you are coming from another agency, at Ofagen we start with a written audit of your account, put what matters about each fan into their internal notes before the first message and agree on a clean exit from day one, with a short notice period and your data handed over. That is [how we work](/en/how-we-work/). And if you are choosing a new agency, check the clauses in an [OnlyFans management contract](/en/guides/onlyfans-agency-contract/) and the [agency red flags](/en/guides/onlyfans-agency-scams/) first.

## Step by step

1. **Read your contract.** Find the notice period, any penalties, how outstanding commission is settled and what data they must hand over. If there is an exit fine, talk to a lawyer before paying it.
2. **Save evidence and numbers.** Take screenshots of your statistics, earnings, prices and active promotions, and note which tools and social media accounts the agency uses.
3. **Secure your email and two-factor authentication.** Make sure the email and phone number on your OnlyFans account are yours, change the email password and set up two-factor authentication on your own phone.
4. **Give notice in writing and change your password.** End the contract the way it requires. The same day, change your OnlyFans password and close all active sessions.
5. **Check your payouts.** Confirm the bank account and payout method are yours and that there are no withdrawals you do not recognize.
6. **Request your data.** Ask in writing for the notes on each fan, segments, scripts, the content calendar, tracking links and the logins for social media accounts.
7. **Review what is still scheduled.** Ask the agency to disconnect its tools, and go through scheduled posts and messages, your welcome message and any active promotions.
8. **Hand over the chat.** The new team reads the history and notes before writing, starts with your biggest spenders and keeps your tone and prices for the first few weeks.

## Frequently asked questions

### Will I lose my fans if I switch OnlyFans agencies?

Not if the account is yours. Your fans, messages, content and statistics live in your OnlyFans account and stay with you. What you can lose is what the agency knows about them: who spends the most, what each fan was promised or what they have already bought. That is why you should ask for those notes in writing before you leave and plan the chat handover carefully.

### How do I leave an OnlyFans agency?

Read the contract to find the notice period and conditions, secure your email and two-factor authentication, then give notice in writing. That day, change your OnlyFans password and close all sessions, check your payout details and ask for your data and the social media accounts to be handed over. If the agency obstructs you or makes threats, contact OnlyFans support.

### Do I need to tell my fans I changed agencies?

There is no obligation to announce it, and usually no need. What matters is that fans do not notice a change for the worse: same tone, same limits and nobody offering them something they already bought. If something visible changes, like your schedule or your prices, present it as news about your account, without criticizing the previous agency.

### What if my contract has an exit fee?

Do not pay it before talking to a lawyer where you live: not every penalty written into a contract is enforceable, and the amount can be challenged. In the meantime, secure your logins and payouts, because a dispute over money does not give anyone the right to keep your account. If you receive pressure or threats, save them and email support@onlyfans.com.

### Can my old agency still get into my account?

Only if it still has some form of access. Change your OnlyFans password and your email password, close all active sessions, check your two-factor authentication and ask the agency to disconnect any tool it used. If it worked through software with individual logins, it must also remove access for its whole team and confirm that to you in writing.
