Mastering Subscription Cancellation and Refunds, What to Do First?

Cancelling a subscription is easier than you think!!!

Stop first. Waiting without action can delay your refund.

Retail investor:

"Who should I contact right now?"

Contact the broker customer center and the subscription platform at the same time.

Until when can I cancel?

Subscription and refund periods vary by announcement.

If it is before the 'subscription closing' listed in the notice, cancellation is usually possible.

However, if allocation and payment have been completed after subscription, there are restrictions per the rules.

First understand the processing flow around the subscription closing.

What should I check first?

Save screenshots of the subscription confirmation screen and email or text messages.

Note the account number and subscription number to speed up inquiries.

Subscription cancellation refers to withdrawing the subscription and receiving a refund of the payment.

Who should I contact?

1) Call or use the app inquiry for the broker where you subscribed.

2) Contact the lead manager (issuer) or the subscription platform customer center.

3) If there is a cancel button on the mobile subscription screen, click it immediately.

If cancellation is not possible in the app, submit to customer service to minimize time delays.

When and how does the refund arrive?

Refunds usually return to the payment method (bank transfer, credit card, virtual account).

Processing times differ by payment method. For card payments, the card company processing period is additional.

If refund delay is suspected, request a refund receipt or transaction history.

Frequently asked issues about cancellation and refunds?

Q: I already received allocation notice, can I still cancel?

Once allocation is confirmed, refund rules change. Check the refund rules in the issuance notice first.

Q: Are fees or interest deducted?

Fees or payment-related costs may be deducted from the refund. Check the broker's terms for actual application.

Tips by broker and platform?

Collect app notifications, text, and email logs.

Consider contacting customer service in the morning to avoid peak congestion.

Submit supporting documents (screenshots, transfer records) immediately when inquiring.

So, what do I do first

→ 1. Immediately capture screenshots of the subscription screen and text/email. One shot is enough.

→ 2. Submit cancellation requests to the broker customer center and subscription platform simultaneously, including account and subscription numbers.

→ 3. Confirm the expected refund date, and if the deadline passes, submit refund receipts and transaction records for follow-up.
