How to cancel Aspiration in singapore and protect your financial data
What Aspiration is and why you might cancel
Aspiration (legally Aspire FT Pte. Ltd.) is a subscription-enabled financial platform designed for business owners and freelancers across Singapore. The service provides multi-currency accounts, virtual and physical cards, expense management tools, and international transfer capabilities through mobile and web applications.
You may decide to cancel your Aspiration subscription for several legitimate reasons: the S$15 monthly Premium fee no longer aligns with your business usage, you have found a competing platform that better suits your workflow, or you simply want to reduce your recurring expenses. Whatever your motivation, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process with precision and clarity, grounded in Singapore's consumer protection framework.
Common reasons to cancel Aspiration
- Monthly Premium subscription cost (S$15) no longer justifies your active usage patterns
- You prefer a different financial platform with features more aligned to your specific workflow
- You have migrated to a larger accounting or enterprise payment solution
- You want to consolidate your subscriptions and eliminate recurring charges
- You experienced unresolved customer service issues or persistent technical problems
- You no longer require multi-currency or international transfer functionality
Aspiration's pricing structure and subscription plans
Understanding your current plan and its features is essential before you make a cancellation decision; downgrading may be a more cost-effective alternative than cancelling entirely.

Consider downgrading before you cancel
If cost is your primary concern, downgrading to the free Basic plan is a strategic alternative to full cancellation. You will retain your account, preserve access to your cards, and save the complete S$15 monthly subscription cost while maintaining essential core features and your transaction history. This approach provides greater flexibility if you decide to return to Premium features in future.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Your cancellation rights are protected by Singapore's consumer protection legislation, which establishes clear standards for subscription services and recurring charges.
Legal framework protecting your cancellation
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (Cap. 52A) governs all consumer contracts in Singapore, including digital subscription services like Aspiration. This legislation requires that subscription providers offer you a straightforward, transparent, and burden-free mechanism to cancel recurring charges at any time. Furthermore, any charges must cease immediately upon cancellation confirmation, and you retain the right to request evidence of cancellation in writing.
The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) also governs how Aspiration handles your personal and financial information following cancellation. You have the explicit right to request deletion or anonymisation of your data once your account is fully closed, subject to legal retention obligations.
Your legal position
You have an unconditional right to cancel your Aspiration subscription at any time under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. You are not required to provide a reason for cancellation, pay an exit fee, or serve a notice period beyond Aspiration's stated cancellation procedure. Once you submit a valid cancellation request, your Premium subscription charges must cease immediately. If Aspiration continues to charge you after your cancellation, you may lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or pursue recovery through the Small Claims Tribunal.
Methods to cancel your Aspiration subscription
Aspiration allows cancellation through multiple channels; your chosen method depends on how you originally subscribed and which platform you use.
Cancel Aspiration via the iPhone and apple app store
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store, you must initiate cancellation through your iPhone settings to halt automatic renewals and prevent further billing.
- Open the Settings application on your iPhone
- Locate the gray gear icon on your home screen
- Tap your name at the very top of the screen
- This appears immediately above "iCloud, Media & Purchases"
- Select Subscriptions from the menu options
- This displays all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID
- Locate and tap Aspiration (displayed as "Aspiration" or "Aspire FT Pte. Ltd." depending on your region)
- Scroll through the list if necessary to find the service
- Tap Cancel Subscription
- You may see a retention offer from Aspiration; you can decline this
- Confirm your cancellation choice when prompted by Apple
- Read the confirmation screen carefully
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation for your records
- Save this image to your camera roll or cloud storage immediately
Critical warning: Simply deleting the Aspiration app from your iPhone will not cancel your subscription. Charges will continue unless you follow the steps above through Settings. Deletion and cancellation are two separate actions.
Cancel Aspiration via android and google play
Android users who subscribed through Google Play must initiate cancellation from within the Play Store application to prevent ongoing billing.
- Open the Google Play Store application on your Android device
- Tap the Play Store icon on your home screen or app drawer
- Tap your Profile icon located in the top right corner
- This typically displays your profile picture or initial
- Select Payments and subscriptions from the menu
- This option appears near the top of the profile menu
- Tap Subscriptions
- This shows all active subscription services on your account
- Find and select Aspiration (displayed as "Aspire FT Pte. Ltd." or "Aspiration")
- Search by typing the service name if the list is lengthy
- Tap Cancel subscription
- Google Play may display a retention offer; you are not obligated to accept
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation request
- Carefully review each confirmation screen
- Save a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation immediately
- Store this in Google Drive, OneDrive, or your device's gallery
Pro tip: Google Play occasionally offers a limited-time discount to keep your subscription; these offers are optional and typically valid for one billing cycle only. If the discount does not align with your decision, proceed with cancellation.
Cancel Aspiration via in-app settings
You may also access cancellation through Aspiration's in-app settings menu if this option is available in your version of the application.
- Open the Aspiration app on your mobile device or web portal
- Log in with your credentials if prompted
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or navigate to your profile or account settings
- The menu location varies by app version; check the top corners or bottom navigation
- Scroll down to locate a Subscription, Plans, or Billing section
- You may also see Premium or Account Management
- Tap Manage subscription or similar option
- This displays your current plan and renewal information
- Select Downgrade or Cancel subscription
- Choose the option that matches your intent
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your request
- Aspiration may ask you to select a reason for cancellation
- Capture a screenshot of your confirmation screen
- Do this immediately after successful cancellation
Cancellation through in-app settings is the most direct method if available, as it creates an immediate record within Aspiration's system.
What happens after you cancel Aspiration
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline and what to expect protects you from accidental re-billing and ensures a clean separation from the service.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Once you submit a valid cancellation request through Apple App Store, Google Play, or in-app settings, your Premium subscription charges cease immediately. Your account transitions to the free Basic plan automatically, and you retain full access to your business account, existing funds in your wallets, and your transaction history. You will no longer be able to use Premium features such as the 5 free monthly international transfers or the 0% foreign exchange fees on the first S$13,000, but your virtual and physical cards remain active.
Accessing your funds and closing your account completely
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically close your Aspiration account or prevent you from accessing your funds. All money in your SGD, USD, GBP, and EUR wallets remains yours and accessible. If you wish to close your account entirely and withdraw all remaining funds, you must contact Aspiration's support team separately. Yafee recommends requesting written confirmation of account closure once your funds have been transferred.
Data retention and privacy after cancellation
Aspiration is obligated under the Personal Data Protection Act to inform you of its data retention policy. Your personal and financial data will typically be retained for a defined period (usually 5 to 7 years) for tax and regulatory compliance, even after cancellation. You have the right to request deletion or anonymisation of non-essential personal data once any legal retention obligations have elapsed. Submit this request in writing to Aspiration's registered office address.
Refund eligibility and claiming unused credit
Your refund entitlements depend on when you submit your cancellation request and whether you have unused credits or promotional balances.
When you are entitled to a refund
If you cancel your Aspiration Premium subscription before your next billing date, you are entitled to a pro-rata refund of any unused portion of your monthly subscription fee under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. For example, if your monthly subscription is S$15 and you cancel 10 days into a 30-day billing cycle, you should receive a refund of approximately S$5 for the remaining 20 days. However, Aspiration's specific refund policy may vary; consequently, you should verify the exact terms in your subscription agreement or contact customer support for clarity.
If you have received promotional credit or bonus funds, these are generally non-refundable unless Aspiration's terms explicitly state otherwise. Check your account for any remaining promotional balances before you submit your cancellation request.
How to claim your refund
In most cases, Aspiration processes refunds automatically within 5 to 10 business days of cancellation confirmation. The refund is credited to the payment method you originally used (Apple ID account, Google Play credit, or linked debit/credit card). You can track the refund status by monitoring your bank account or payment provider's transaction history. If you do not receive your refund within 14 days of cancellation, contact Aspiration's support team immediately and provide evidence of your cancellation (the screenshot you captured). Yafee advises keeping all correspondence in writing for dispute resolution purposes.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Aspiration
Cancellation is straightforward, but several common errors can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to accidental re-billing; awareness and caution prevent these pitfalls.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
The most frequent mistake is removing the Aspiration application from your device without first cancelling through your subscription settings. Deletion does not stop recurring charges. Your Premium subscription will continue to renew monthly, and charges will appear on your linked payment method or Apple/Google account even though the app is no longer visible on your phone. Always cancel through Settings or in-app options before you delete.
Assuming cancellation is complete without confirmation
Incomplete cancellation workflows can leave your subscription active. After you tap "Cancel Subscription" on Apple or Google Play, you must fully confirm the action when prompted. If you close the screen or navigate away before confirmation is complete, your cancellation request may not be processed. Always see the final confirmation message on your screen and capture a screenshot.
Forgetting to cancel through the correct platform
If you signed up for Aspiration through both the iOS App Store and Google Play, or through both the mobile app and the web portal, you may have multiple subscriptions active simultaneously. You must cancel each subscription separately through the platform where it was purchased. Cancelling one subscription does not affect the others. Review your Apple ID and Google Play accounts to verify all subscriptions are closed.
Not monitoring your account after cancellation
Unexpected charges can occur if a cancellation fails silently or if you accidentally re-subscribe. Monitor your bank account and payment method for at least two billing cycles after cancellation to confirm charges have ceased. If unauthorised charges appear, contact your bank immediately and provide evidence of your cancellation (your screenshot).

Understanding the exact timeline ensures you know when to expect charges to stop and when your Premium benefits end.

Comparison of cancellation methods and their advantages
Each cancellation channel offers distinct advantages depending on your platform and preference for documentation.

Yafee recommends using whichever method matches the platform where you originally subscribed, as this ensures the most reliable cancellation record.
If Aspiration fails to honour your cancellation or continues charging after your request, you have escalation and dispute resolution options grounded in Singapore law.
Aspiration's registered office address
Aspiration (Aspire FT Pte. Ltd.) operates from its registered office in Singapore. For formal cancellation correspondence, account closure requests, data deletion requests, or refund disputes, send written communication to:
Aspire FT Pte. Ltd.
Registered office address in Singapore
(Contact details available via ACRA Business Profile or Aspiration's official website)
Send all formal correspondence by registered mail or email with read receipt enabled. Retain a copy for your records. Request written acknowledgement of receipt within 5 business days.
Escalation to the consumers association of singapore
If Aspiration refuses to process your cancellation, denies you a refund you are entitled to, or continues charging after your request, file a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE operates a free dispute resolution service and can investigate breaches of the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. You can lodge a complaint online via the CASE website (case.org.sg) or by visiting their office in person. Provide your cancellation screenshot, correspondence with Aspiration, and evidence of unauthorised charges.
Small claims tribunal
For disputed charges totalling less than S$10,000, you may pursue recovery through the Small Claims Tribunal without legal representation. This tribunal handles straightforward billing disputes and can order Aspiration to refund charges or damages. Yafee advises attempting resolution with Aspiration and CASE first, as tribunal proceedings require formal filing and attendance.
