  • If you can’t cancel a subscription

    Sometimes we can't cancel a subscription. If that happens, we'll let you know what to do next. The best way to cancel your subscription is to get in touch directly with who you're paying.

    You can still block those payments with us, but your provider may ask you directly for payments if your subscription is active.

    Before you cancel, please check:

    • All your details are right and match the subscription account.
    • Who set up the subscription? Only the account holder can cancel.
    • If you have a minimum contract period - you may not be able to cancel it before a certain date.

    If you're still having problems cancelling, get in touch with your provider to find out more.

  • Payment blocks

    Payment blocks don’t cancel your subscription, but they stop the provider taking money from your account. They can still ask you directly for payments if your subscription is active. If you have other subscriptions with the same provider, they may get blocked as well.

    Payment blocks on your debit card last for 13 months. You can unblock sooner. If you have other subscriptions with the same provider, they may get unblocked as well.

  • Restart a subscription

    If you've cancelled your subscription, you need to set up a new one with the service provider.

    If you've blocked payments but the subscription still shows, you can unblock in the app.

    Your provider may take payments if your subscription is still active. Or get in touch with your provider if you want to restart it.

  • Payment taken for cancelled subscription

    When you block your payments, any payments due in the next 24 hours may still go out. If you think the payment has been taken by mistake, get in touch with your service provider to find out more. 

  • If you change your mind

    Once you’ve asked us to cancel a subscription, you can’t stop the process in our app. You’ll need to contact us instead.

    You should also contact the service provider to make sure your subscription keeps going.
