Frequently asked questions
Cancel Empower: The Right Way to Protect Your Money
How to cancel Empower in nigeria and reclaim your subscription fees
Understanding Empower and why nigerians cancel
Empower is a personal finance application designed for budgeting, habit tracking, and short-term cash advances. You access premium features through monthly or annual subscriptions, or use the cash-advance service, which typically offers a 14-day free trial before recurring charges activate. Many Nigerian users benefit from the free tier but discover that premium subscription fees or auto-renewal charges do not align with their financial needs after the trial period expires.
At Yafee, we recognise that cancelling Empower matters because unexpected recurring charges create immediate financial strain when resources are limited. You deserve transparent information on how to stop these charges immediately, what happens to your funds, and what legal protections Nigerian law grants you. This guide walks you through your rights and every cancellation method available.
Common reasons nigerians cancel Empower
You may cancel because the app experiences persistent login failures, customer support responds slowly, or charges appeared without explicit consent. Some users find that premium features do not justify the cost once the free trial ends. Others cancel after linking their debit card and overlooking auto-renewal until charges appear on their bank statement. Yafee recognises that whatever your reason, you need a clear, actionable cancellation process.
What you need before you start cancelling
Gather your login credentials, note which platform distributed your subscription (Apple App Store, Google Play, or direct app subscription), and record the email address linked to your Empower account. If you have already been charged, capture a screenshot of the transaction in your banking app. These details prove essential if you must dispute the charge or escalate your complaint to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
Empower pricing in nigeria
Understanding your subscription costs helps you decide whether cancellation serves your interests and whether you qualify for a refund or credit.
Current plans and monthly costs
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Cost in NGN | What you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Power Access | Monthly | ₦7,000-₦7,200 | Premium audio lessons, video coaching, habit-tracking tools, financial education |
| Yearly Power Access | Annual | ₦70,000-₦72,000 | Same premium content for 12 consecutive months |
| Cash advance (with trial) | 14 days free, then variable | Varies by advance amount | Short-term income advance; interest and fees apply after trial |
| Free tier | Ongoing | ₦0 | Basic budgeting, limited habit tracking |
Prices fluctuate with currency exchange rates and regional adjustments. Your bank statement shows the exact naira amount debited from your account. If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, store processing fees may add to the base subscription price, depending on your payment method.
Should you cancel Empower in nigeria
Before you initiate cancellation, assess whether the app still delivers value and whether your bank or payment method offers refund protection.
Reasons to keep your subscription
- You actively use the budgeting and habit-tracking tools and see measurable financial improvement.
- The premium audio and coaching content genuinely motivates your savings goals.
- You plan to use the cash-advance service and the fee structure is transparent and affordable.
- The monthly cost (₦7,000-₦7,200) represents less than one percent of your monthly income.
Reasons to cancel immediately
- You received charges without providing explicit consent to the premium subscription.
- The app crashes frequently, preventing access to the features you pay for.
- Customer support fails to respond within 7 business days to your inquiries.
- You have not used the app in the past 30 days and prefer to redirect funds to essential expenses.
- Empower charges you after the free trial without a clear opt-in confirmation email.
Your legal position and consumer rights in nigeria
Nigerian law grants you specific protections against unfair subscription practices and hidden charges. The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) enforces these rights and investigates complaints against service providers who breach consumer protection standards.
What nigerian consumer law guarantees
Under the Consumer Protection Framework administered by the FCCPC, you have the right to clear pricing information before you pay, the right to cancel without penalty after a free trial period ends, and the right to dispute charges your bank classified as unauthorised or for defective services. If Empower charges you without obtaining your affirmative consent, conceals cancellation options, or employs dark patterns to trick you into auto-renewal, you may file a formal complaint with the FCCPC.
Your legal position: You own the right to cancel at any time without explanation. Free trials must convert to paid subscriptions only after you receive clear notice and actively confirm your agreement. If Empower charged you during or immediately after a free trial without your signed consent, you hold a strong legal claim for a full refund under Nigerian consumer protection law. Yafee advises that you document all communications and maintain proof of your cancellation request.
What happens if Empower refuses to cancel
- Request cancellation in writing via email to Empower's customer support and retain a timestamped copy of your message.
- Allow 14 calendar days for a response. If Empower does not acknowledge or confirm cancellation, proceed to the next step.
- Contact your bank or card issuer and initiate a chargeback dispute, classifying the charge as unauthorised or for defective service.
- File a formal complaint with the FCCPC at [email protected] or visit their official website to submit a detailed dispute.
- In your FCCPC complaint, include screenshots of charges, copies of your cancellation emails, Empower's postal address, and your bank transaction reference number.
How to cancel Empower via each platform
Your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed. Yafee provides precise steps for every distribution channel available in Nigeria.

- Look for "Subscriptions," "Billing," or "Manage Plans."
- Select your active subscription and tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Downgrade to Free."
- If the app does not display a cancellation option, email Empower directly at their support address with your account email and request cancellation.
- Send the email with the subject line "Cancellation request for Empower subscription" and include your account email address and the date your subscription began.
- Retain a screenshot of your email send confirmation and await a reply within 5 business days.
Cancel Empower via your bank if the app fails
- If Empower does not provide a visible cancellation option in the app or fails to respond to email requests, contact your bank directly.
- Call your bank's customer service line or log into your mobile banking app.
- Request to revoke or block all future payments to Empower.
- Ask your bank to mark the next Empower charge (if it arrives) as unauthorised and dispute it immediately.
- Your bank can issue you a new debit card to prevent Empower from attempting further charges.
What happens after you cancel Empower
Cancellation takes effect immediately in most cases, though billing timelines vary by platform. Yafee outlines what you experience in the days and weeks following your cancellation.
Immediate changes to your account
- Your app access downgrades to the free tier within 24 hours of cancellation.
- Premium audio, video lessons, and advanced habit-tracking tools become unavailable.
- Your account data (savings goals, transaction history, budgets) remains stored in Empower and is not deleted when you cancel the paid subscription.
Billing timeline after cancellation
- If you cancel mid-cycle, your paid access continues until the end of your billing period (end of the month for monthly plans, end of the year for annual plans).
- No new charges appear after your next billing date once cancellation is processed.
- If a charge still appears after cancellation, immediately dispute it with your bank as a failed cancellation and escalate to the FCCPC.
Reactivating your subscription
- You may reactivate your Empower subscription at any time by re-selecting the monthly or annual plan in the app or via your app store account.
- Reactivation does not restore previous premium features; you begin a new billing cycle on the reactivation date.
Refunds and chargebacks in nigeria
Nigerian consumer law and banking regulations grant you strong refund protections if Empower charged you improperly. Yafee explains your options for recovering funds.
Requesting a refund directly from Empower
- Email Empower's support team within 14 days of the charge you wish to dispute, stating your reason (unexpected charge, unauthorised subscription, defective service, etc.).
- Include your account email, the exact transaction date, the amount charged in NGN, and your bank reference number.
- Ask explicitly for a full refund and provide your bank account details for a direct transfer.
- If Empower refuses or ignores your request within 7 business days, escalate to your bank.
Disputing the charge with your bank (chargeback)
- Contact your bank's customer service team or dispute department immediately after you request a refund from Empower and receive no response.
- Provide your bank with your account email, the Empower transaction reference number, and the exact amount charged.
- Clearly state that the charge was unauthorised or for a service you did not receive as promised.
- Your bank will initiate a formal dispute process and request evidence from Empower. This process typically takes 14-30 business days.
- Your bank may credit the disputed amount to your account provisionally while the investigation proceeds.
- If the bank rules in your favour, Empower must refund the amount within 5 business days.
Filing a complaint with the FCCPC for refund assistance
- Visit the FCCPC website (fccpc.gov.ng) and navigate to their complaints portal.
- Submit a detailed complaint describing the charge, when it occurred, and why you believe it breaches consumer protection law.
- Attach screenshots of your bank statement showing the charge and copies of all emails you sent to Empower requesting refund or cancellation.
- The FCCPC will investigate Empower and may order a refund if they find the company breached consumer standards.
- FCCPC investigations take 30-90 days. You will receive updates via email throughout the process.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancelling poorly costs you time and money. These mistakes weaken your legal position and delay the refund process, so Yafee emphasises each one.
Deleting the Empower app instead of cancelling your subscription
Uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription or stop charges. Your subscription continues to auto-renew behind the scenes, and your bank continues to debit your account monthly. You must explicitly cancel within the app, your app store account, or by contacting Empower directly. Always confirm cancellation in writing and retain proof.
Failing to document your cancellation request
If you cancel verbally or lose your cancellation confirmation, Empower may deny you cancelled and charge you again. Take a screenshot of every cancellation confirmation email, the timestamp on your app store subscription cancellation screen, or a photograph of your bank statement showing the charge stopping. These records prove your cancellation to the FCCPC if you must escalate.
Disputing the charge before cancelling the subscription
If you dispute a charge with your bank before cancelling the subscription, Empower may attempt another charge for the next billing cycle. Always cancel first, then dispute any charges that arrived without proper consent. This sequence prevents double-charging and strengthens your chargeback claim.
Missing the free-trial conversion deadline
Empower typically sends a conversion notice 2-3 days before your free trial ends. If you ignore this email and do not cancel, you consent to the paid subscription by inaction. Check your email inbox (including spam folders) during your free-trial period and cancel immediately if you do not want to pay. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder 5 days before your trial expires.
Ignoring bank statements and failing to spot unauthorised charges
Review your bank statement every week during and after your Empower trial. If a charge appears that you did not authorise, flag it immediately with your bank and dispute it within 30 days. Delays weaken your chargeback position and may cause you to lose the right to recover the funds.

Nigeria
Send all cancellation requests, refund demands, and formal complaints by registered post or email to Empower. Keep copies of all correspondence. Include your account email, the date your subscription began, the exact amount charged, and a clear statement requesting immediate cancellation and refund. Yafee recommends using email for cancellation because it creates an instant timestamp and allows Empower to respond electronically within 5 business days.
Why you need clear cancellation guidance
Empower subscriptions are designed to auto-renew, meaning you must take active steps to stop the charges. Without clear cancellation instructions, you risk losing money to recurring fees while searching for a cancellation button that may not appear obvious in the app. Yafee has helped thousands of Nigerian consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions, recover refunds, and file successful complaints with the FCCPC when companies refused to respect cancellation requests. Your money belongs to you, and so does the right to stop charges without penalty or delay.
Start your cancellation today using the steps above. If Empower refuses to honour your request, Yafee's legal framework shows you exactly how to escalate to your bank and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission. You hold all the legal protections necessary to reclaim your subscription fees and prevent future unauthorised charges.
