How to cancel Bijak in malaysia and protect your business data
What is Bijak and why you might need to cancel
Bijak is a subscription-based digital platform offering integrated HR and point-of-sale (POS) solutions to Malaysian businesses. When you signed up, you agreed to a recurring monthly billing cycle with automatic renewal unless you actively cancel before your renewal date arrives. Understanding what you signed up for is the first step toward a clean exit.
How Bijak works as a subscription service in malaysia
Bijak operates under Malaysian law and its terms of service make one thing clear: your subscription renews automatically every billing period until you cancel (bijak.com). The platform offered you a 7-day free trial when you first registered, and if you did not cancel before that trial ended, your account converted to a paid subscription. From that point onward, your billing cycle began.
The contract is governed by Malaysian law, and any disputes are handled through arbitration in Kuala Lumpur (bijak.com). This matters because it means your consumer protections are rooted in Malaysian legislation, specifically the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Yafee specialises in helping consumers navigate exactly these kinds of recurring-service agreements, so you know where you stand legally.
What happens to your business data after cancellation
Before you cancel, you must understand Bijak's data retention policy. Once you cancel your subscription, the platform retains your account data for 30 days, then permanently deletes it (bijak.com). If your Bijak account contains employee records, sales data, customer information, or any operational records you may need later, you must export this data before you cancel. Waiting until after cancellation means permanent loss of that information.
Export your data while you still have active access to your account. Do not assume you can recover anything after the cancellation window closes. This is not a Bijak-specific problem; it is a fact of how digital subscriptions handle data, and it applies across the industry.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Your legal position is protected by specific Malaysian consumer legislation, and understanding these rights removes any doubt about what the company owes you.
The consumer protection act 1999 and automatic renewal
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 is the primary legislation protecting you as a consumer in Malaysia. Under this Act, a supplier cannot unfairly bind you to a contract, and any automatic renewal clause must be clearly disclosed before you purchase (Consumer Protection Act 1999, Section 37). Bijak's terms do state that renewal happens automatically, but the question is whether this disclosure was prominent enough at the point of purchase.
Furthermore, the Act requires that you receive a clear reminder before your subscription renews, and you must be given a simple mechanism to cancel. If Bijak failed to provide either of these, the company is in breach of Malaysian consumer law. In accordance with the Act, you have the right to cancel without penalty if the renewal clause was not transparent.
Your right to refunds under malaysian law
If you cancel within a reasonable period after your subscription renews, you may be entitled to a refund for charges you did not authorise or that were made without clear consent. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 does not give a fixed cooling-off period for digital services in the way it does for door-to-door sales, but it does protect you against unfair contract terms.
Consequently, if you can demonstrate that Bijak did not make the auto-renewal clause clear, or that you were not properly reminded before renewal, you have grounds to request a refund. Yafee has helped hundreds of Malaysian consumers challenge unjust renewal charges by citing this exact provision of the Act.
Where to escalate if Bijak refuses your cancellation
If you cancel and Bijak continues to charge you, or if the company refuses to acknowledge your cancellation request, you have a formal escalation route. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) is the enforcement body responsible for consumer protection in Malaysia and will investigate complaints of unfair contract practices.
You can file a complaint with KPDNHEP if Bijak breaches the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Nevertheless, always attempt to resolve the issue directly with Bijak's customer service first. Keep all evidence: screenshots of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, and proof of any charges that arrived after you cancelled.
Cancellation methods: which route works best
Bijak provides multiple cancellation channels, and using the right one ensures your request is logged and tracked correctly.
Cancel through the Bijak website account portal
The primary cancellation method is through your Bijak account on their website. This is the most direct route and leaves the clearest digital record of your action.
- Log in to your Bijak account using your email and password
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management (usually found in the top menu or under your profile icon)
- Select the option labelled Cancel Subscription or End Subscription
- You may be asked to confirm the cancellation or provide a reason; provide accurate information
- Wait for a confirmation screen to appear on your device
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation, including the timestamp
- Within 24 hours, you should receive a confirmation email; keep this in your records
Do not assume that logging out, deleting the app, or simply stopping your use of the service cancels your subscription. These actions do nothing to stop automatic billing. Your account continues to renew at the end of each billing period unless you explicitly cancel through the account portal or by contacting support.
Cancel via email to Bijak customer support
If the website cancellation does not work, or if you want a paper trail of your request, contact Bijak by email. This method is slower but creates a documented record that is harder for the company to dispute later.
- Locate Bijak's official customer support email address on their help centre or website
- Compose a clear email with the subject line: Cancellation Request - [Your Account Email/ID]
- Include the following information in the email body:
- Your full name
- Your account email address
- Your Bijak account ID (if available)
- Your current billing date or subscription renewal date
- The date you want your subscription to end
- A statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Bijak subscription, effective immediately"
- Send the email from the same email address registered to your Bijak account
- Request a read receipt or ask for written confirmation of your cancellation
- Save the email chain including delivery receipts and any replies
Send this email at least 5 working days before your next renewal date to ensure it is processed in time. If you send it the day before renewal, you risk being charged again before the cancellation takes effect.
Cancel via WhatsApp or messaging support
Bijak's customer service channels include WhatsApp messaging, which is common among Malaysian service providers. This method is faster than email but may leave a less formal record.
- Open WhatsApp and locate Bijak's official customer support number from their website
- Send a message clearly stating: "I want to cancel my Bijak subscription effective immediately. My account email is [your email]. Please confirm receipt and provide cancellation confirmation."
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation in the same message
- Screenshot the entire conversation, including timestamps and the message receipts (grey tick for sent, blue tick for delivered)
- Keep this screenshot indefinitely as proof of your request
The drawback of messaging support is that staff may mark your message as resolved without actually processing the cancellation. Always follow up with a second message within 48 hours asking for explicit confirmation that your subscription has been terminated.
Step-by-step cancellation process for your situation
Follow this unified process to ensure your cancellation is handled correctly and you are not charged again.
Check your current billing date and plan details
Log in to your Bijak account right now and locate your next renewal date. This is critical because the terms state your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel first (bijak.com). If today is 10 days before renewal, you have time to cancel without incurring another charge. If you are within 2 days of renewal, act immediately.
Make a note of the exact renewal date and your current monthly fee. Take a screenshot of your billing page showing the renewal date and the payment method on file. This screenshot is your evidence if a dispute arises later.
Export all critical business data
Before you press the cancel button, export any data you may need later. Bijak deletes account data 30 days after cancellation (bijak.com), so this is your only opportunity to preserve employee records, sales reports, customer lists, or any other information stored in your account.
- Navigate to Reports or Data Export in your Bijak account
- Select all relevant reports, employee records, or transaction histories
- Export them as CSV, PDF, or Excel files
- Save these files to your computer or cloud storage with today's date in the filename
- Verify the exports opened correctly and contain all expected data
This step takes 10 minutes and saves you the heartache of losing business-critical information. Do not skip it.
Submit your cancellation request
Use the website account portal as your primary method. Log in, go to Account Settings, and select Cancel Subscription. Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm the cancellation when asked. Wait for the confirmation page to load and screenshot it immediately.
If the website portal does not complete, send an email to Bijak's support address immediately as your backup method. Use the exact template provided earlier in this guide to ensure your request is formal and clear.
Collect your proof and keep it safe
You now have three pieces of evidence: a screenshot of your cancellation request, a screenshot of the confirmation page, and (if applicable) a confirmation email from Bijak. Store these in a folder on your computer or in cloud storage with the date and your account details. Yafee recommends creating a simple document listing:
- Date of cancellation request
- Cancellation method used (website, email, WhatsApp)
- Confirmation number or email reference (if provided)
- Your account email address
- Your next renewal date (the date you were trying to avoid)
Keep this document for at least one year after cancellation. If a charge appears on your bank statement after the cancellation date, this proof is what you will show your bank or the enforcement authorities to dispute it.
Monitor your bank account for charges
After you cancel, monitor your bank or credit card statement for the next 60 days to ensure no further Bijak charges appear. Most cancellations take effect immediately, but some systems may process pending charges that were queued before your cancellation request arrived.
If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card provider and dispute it as an unauthorised charge. Show them your cancellation confirmation as proof. You can also file a complaint with KPDNHEP if Bijak continues to bill you after a valid cancellation request.
Refund rights and how to claim them
If Bijak charged you for a period you did not authorise, or after you cancelled, you have specific legal remedies under Malaysian law.
When you are entitled to a refund
You are entitled to a refund in the following scenarios:
- You cancelled before your renewal date but were still charged for the next billing period
- Bijak did not provide a clear reminder about auto-renewal before charging you
- You cancelled during a free trial but were charged after the trial ended
- You cancelled and then received another charge within 30 days of your cancellation request
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 requires that consumers have the right to cancel without penalty if the contract terms are unfair or were not clearly disclosed. In accordance with this principle, a company cannot continue to charge you after you have validly cancelled, regardless of what their terms claim.
How to request a refund from Bijak
- Gather all evidence: cancellation confirmation, bank statements showing the disputed charge, and your cancellation request
- Send a formal refund request email to Bijak's support team, using this template:
- Subject: Refund Request for Unauthorized Charge - [Your Account Email]
- Body: State the exact amount, the charge date, and the date you cancelled. Attach your cancellation confirmation.
- Explain: "I cancelled my subscription on [date]. I received an unauthorized charge on [date]. This charge violates the Consumer Protection Act 1999. I request a full refund of RM[amount] to my original payment method within 14 days."
- Keep a copy of this email and send it from your registered account email address
- Allow Bijak 14 days to respond
- If Bijak refuses, escalate to your bank or credit card provider
If Bijak refuses to refund you
If Bijak denies your refund request or does not respond within 14 days, you have escalation options. First, dispute the charge with your bank. Most Malaysian banks and credit card providers will reverse a charge if you provide evidence of cancellation and the company's refusal to refund.
Second, file a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP). You can do this online on their website or by visiting your nearest KPDNHEP office. Include your cancellation confirmation, bank statements, and email chain with Bijak as evidence. KPDNHEP has the power to compel Bijak to refund you and to impose penalties on the company if it is found to have breached consumer law.
Yafee's experience working with Malaysian consumers shows that most companies comply with refund requests once they receive formal notice from an enforcement body. The threat of KPDNHEP involvement is often enough to prompt swift action.
What happens after your cancellation takes effect
Once you have successfully cancelled, several things happen automatically and on your timeline.
Access to your Bijak account
After cancellation, you retain access to your account for a limited period (typically 30 days) so you can export any remaining data you need. You will not be charged during this period. Once the 30-day window closes, Bijak permanently deletes all your account data, including employee records, transaction history, and any other information stored on the platform.
You should be able to log in and download final reports, but you cannot create new entries or process new transactions. If you need to use Bijak again in the future, you will need to sign up for a new subscription.
Removal of your payment method
Your payment method remains on file until Bijak's system processes the cancellation fully, which usually takes 1-3 business days. After this processing period, your payment details are removed from Bijak's active billing system. This prevents accidental future charges.
Nevertheless, you should remove your payment method manually from your Bijak account if the option is available. This adds an extra layer of protection and ensures no charges can occur even if a system error occurs.
Confirmation of cancellation status
Check your Bijak account one week after cancellation to confirm your subscription now shows as "cancelled" or "inactive". Your billing page should no longer display a renewal date. If it still shows an upcoming renewal, contact Bijak immediately and escalate to email or WhatsApp support. This indicates the cancellation did not process correctly.
Do not wait for the next billing date to discover a problem. Verify cancellation status within 7 days while you can still take corrective action.
Common mistakes that delay your cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward if you avoid these pitfalls that catch many Bijak users off guard.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
The single biggest mistake is assuming that uninstalling the Bijak app stops your billing. It does not. The app is just a interface to your subscription; deleting it is like tearing up a receipt. Your underlying subscription continues to renew every month and charges your payment method automatically.
Cancellation must happen inside your account settings or through direct contact with customer support. App deletion is irrelevant to billing status.
Cancelling too close to your renewal date
If you submit your cancellation request the day before or day of renewal, you risk being charged before the cancellation processes. Bijak's system may have queued the renewal charge before your cancellation request was reviewed. To avoid this, cancel at least 5 days before your renewal date.
If you are already past this point, contact Bijak immediately by WhatsApp and ask for an expedited cancellation. Keep records of this urgent request and follow up with an email as backup.
Forgetting to export your data
Data deletion happens automatically 30 days after cancellation. If you realise after 30 days that you need old employee records or sales reports, recovery is not possible. Export your data on the same day you cancel, not later.
Not keeping proof of your cancellation
If a charge appears after your cancellation date, you will need to prove you cancelled. Screenshots, confirmation emails, and support conversation records are essential. Do not delete these even months after cancellation, as your bank may need them to process a dispute.
Using a messaging app as your only cancellation method
WhatsApp or in-app messaging is convenient but less formal than email. If you use only WhatsApp to cancel, follow up with an email within 24 hours that explicitly restates your cancellation request. Email creates an official record that is harder for the company to dispute later.
Pricing and billing structure
Understanding Bijak's pricing helps you forecast refunds and decide when to cancel.

All Bijak plans renew automatically unless you cancel. There is no "pay as you go" option, and there is no annual discount offered in publicly available materials. If you received a custom quote for an enterprise plan, your cancellation rights depend on the contract terms you agreed to; contact Bijak directly to understand your specific arrangement.
Reasons to keep or cancel your Bijak subscription
Before you cancel, consider whether Bijak truly no longer serves your business needs or whether you are cancelling out of frustration over a feature or billing issue.
Reasons to keep your subscription
- You still rely on Bijak's HR or POS features for daily business operations
- Your team is trained on the platform and switching costs are high
- No competitor offers equivalent functionality at the same price
- You are within the free trial period and can evaluate fully before committing
- You negotiated a corporate or volume discount that makes the service cost-effective
Reasons to cancel your subscription
- You found a competitor platform that better suits your business needs
- You switched to a different business model that no longer requires HR or POS management
- The monthly fee is straining your cash flow and you do not have adequate ROI
- Bijak's customer service is unresponsive or does not support your specific use case
- You disagree with how the company handled your cancellation request or refund claim
- You never actually used the service after the trial ended
If your reason is a billing or service complaint, consider contacting Bijak's management directly before cancelling. Many issues can be resolved with a phone call or escalated support conversation. However, if you have exhausted this route and remain unsatisfied, cancellation is your right under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
Bijak operates from Kuala Lumpur under the legal entity BJAK Sdn. Bhd. Here is where you can reach them for cancellation and support.
Registered office address
BJAK Sdn. Bhd.
8, Jalan Kerinchi
Bangsar South
59200 Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia
Postal mail to this address is possible but slow. Email or WhatsApp support is faster and leaves a digital record. Nevertheless, if you want to send a formal cancellation letter by post, address it to the above location and mark it "Attention: Customer Cancellation Team".
Digital support channels
Bijak provides customer support through email and WhatsApp messaging. The company does not publicly list a phone number for customer support, so email and messaging are your primary contact methods. Contact their help centre or website for current email addresses and WhatsApp contact numbers, as these may change.
Important note on address and service contact
No dedicated cancellation postal address separate from the registered office was found in publicly available sources. Use the account portal or email as your primary cancellation methods. If Bijak requests that you send cancellation documents by post, ask for a specific postal address and confirmation that your letter will be received and processed. Do not assume general mail to the registered office reaches the cancellation team in time.
Final summary and your next step
Cancelling Bijak is straightforward when you follow the correct process: export your data first, submit your cancellation through the account portal or email, keep proof, and monitor your bank account for unauthorised charges.
Your legal position is protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which guarantees your right to cancel without penalty and to receive refunds for unauthorised charges. If Bijak refuses to comply, escalate to KPDNHEP or your bank, and they will enforce your rights.
