How to cancel Ezpay and reclaim control of your payments in singapore
Understanding Ezpay and your cancellation options
Ezpay is a payment orchestration platform that manages invoices, recurring subscriptions, and online transactions between you, merchants, and payment processors. The critical distinction you must understand is this: Ezpay processes payments but does not deliver the goods or services you subscribe to. That responsibility belongs entirely to the merchant billing you. Consequently, your cancellation request often flows through two separate channels-first to the merchant, then to Ezpay if the merchant fails to act.
At Yafee, we guide thousands of Singaporean consumers through subscription cancellations every month. We understand that payment platforms can feel opaque, so this guide cuts through the confusion and delivers actionable steps. Whether you face double-charging, want to halt a recurring subscription, or suspect unauthorised activity, Yafee covers every procedural step you need to follow.
What Ezpay controls and what it does not
Ezpay provides billing infrastructure, payment processing, and invoicing tools. It does not control your access to a service after you cancel, nor does it automatically refund you if a merchant declines to honour your cancellation request. Ezpay's Terms and Conditions explicitly limit its liability for merchant refunds. This separation of roles means your success depends on how you sequence your communications with both the merchant and Ezpay.
Yafee has observed that consumers who contact Ezpay first-without contacting the merchant-often face delays and circular conversations. You must adopt a two-step approach: cancel with the merchant, then escalate to Ezpay only if the merchant refuses or fails to respond within 7 business days.
Why Ezpay cancellations commonly fail
Many Singaporean subscribers cancel a service with the merchant, assume the process is complete, and then discover a charge on their statement 30 days later. This occurs because the merchant may not have instructed Ezpay to suspend recurring billing, or the merchant may revoke access but continue charging until the end of a billing cycle. Yafee recommends always obtaining written confirmation and retaining a reference number-we detail exactly how in the cancellation steps below.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act provides you with enforceable protections when purchasing goods or services, including digital subscriptions and online payments processed through platforms like Ezpay.
Key protections that apply to Ezpay cancellations
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, a supplier-in this case, the merchant using Ezpay to bill you-must not engage in misleading or deceptive conduct. If a merchant continues to charge you after you have requested cancellation, or if Ezpay processes unauthorised transactions, you have legal grounds to dispute the charge and demand a refund. The Act also implies a guarantee that services must be rendered with due care and skill. If Ezpay's platform malfunctions and causes overcharging or multiple billing, both the merchant and Ezpay can be held accountable.
Your legal position: You are protected as a consumer under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act whenever you make a purchase through Ezpay. This means you have the right to cancel, the right to a refund for unauthorised charges, and the right to escalate complaints to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) if the merchant or platform refuses to act within a reasonable timeframe.
Yafee emphasises that documentation is your strongest defence. Record every interaction-dates, times, names of support staff, email confirmations, and screenshots-because this evidence strengthens your case if you need to file a complaint with CASE or request a chargeback with your bank.
Time limits and escalation routes
If a merchant or Ezpay refuses to refund you, you have 12 months from the transaction date to lodge a complaint with CASE or request a chargeback from your credit card issuer or bank. Ezpay's own refund policy permits refunds for unauthorised transactions, platform errors, or service disruptions within 7 days of discovery. Consequently, you must act quickly if you identify an error.
Service fees already consumed cannot be recovered unless you prove that the merchant billed you beyond the agreed cancellation date. CASE will investigate your complaint at no cost to you, and the Consumers Association of Singapore has enforcement power to compel refunds and penalties if the merchant or platform acted unfairly.
Cancellation methods and how Ezpay fits into the process
Ezpay itself does not hold your subscription-the merchant does. Your cancellation journey therefore involves identifying the correct merchant contact point and then notifying Ezpay if the merchant fails to act.
Direct cancellation with the merchant
Your primary cancellation must go to the merchant, not Ezpay. Identify the merchant you subscribed to (for example, a software-as-a-service provider, streaming platform, or membership site). Visit their website and locate the account settings or subscription management page. Most merchants display a "Cancel subscription" or "Manage billing" option in your customer account. If you cannot find it, contact their customer support team directly by email or phone and explicitly request cancellation of your subscription and all recurring charges.
Escalation to Ezpay if the merchant does not respond
If the merchant fails to respond within 7 business days or refuses to cancel, contact Ezpay directly. Yafee recommends that you gather the following before reaching out: the merchant's name, your subscription reference number, the date you requested cancellation with the merchant, and any email confirmations from the merchant. Ezpay can review the billing instructions it holds for that merchant and force a suspension of recurring charges if the merchant has failed its obligations.
Step-by-step cancellation process
Follow these procedural steps to cancel Ezpay subscriptions and mitigate the risk of ongoing charges.
- Identify the merchant and your subscription details.
- Log into your Ezpay account (if you have one) or review your bank statement to identify which merchant is billing you through Ezpay.
- Note the subscription name, billing amount, and billing cycle (weekly, monthly, or annual).
- Record the transaction reference number or invoice ID from your statement.
- Locate the merchant's cancellation page or support contact.
- Visit the merchant's website and search for "Cancel subscription", "Manage account", or "Billing settings".
- If no self-service cancellation option exists, find the merchant's customer support email or phone number.
- Screenshot or bookmark the support contact information in case you need to follow up.
- Submit your cancellation request to the merchant.
- If using self-service: click "Cancel subscription" and confirm the cancellation. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page.
- If contacting support: send an email clearly stating "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription effective today" and include your subscription reference number and billing email address.
- Use formal language and request a confirmation email in response.
- Request written confirmation from the merchant.
- After submitting your cancellation, reply to the confirmation email (or send a follow-up) asking for a cancellation reference number and the effective date of cancellation.
- Store this confirmation in a dedicated folder on your device or email account.
- Note the date and time you received the confirmation.
- Monitor your bank or credit card statement for 30 days.
- Check your statement closely on the merchant's next billing date to confirm that no charge was applied.
- If a charge appears, gather the evidence and proceed to step 6.
- Escalate to Ezpay if the merchant fails to act.
- If the merchant continues charging you after 7 business days, contact Ezpay with your cancellation confirmation and the unwanted charge details.
- Ezpay can enforce a billing halt on its platform and investigate whether the merchant violated its agreements.
- File a chargeback if Ezpay and the merchant both refuse.
- Contact your bank or credit card issuer and request a chargeback for the unwanted charge.
- Provide your cancellation confirmation and bank statements as evidence.
- The bank will investigate and typically resolve the dispute within 30 to 60 days.
Refunds and what you can expect
Your entitlement to a refund depends on the reason for cancellation and the time elapsed since the charge.
Refunds within 7 days of discovery
If you identify an unauthorised charge, platform error, or service disruption immediately, Ezpay's refund policy permits you to request a refund within 7 days of discovery. Contact Ezpay with proof of the error (for example, a duplicate charge or a charge after cancellation) and your bank account details. Ezpay will process refunds directly to your payment method, which typically clears within 5 to 10 business days.
Refunds beyond 7 days
Charges older than 7 days fall outside Ezpay's immediate refund window. However, you retain the right to dispute these charges through your bank or CASE if you can demonstrate that the merchant continued billing you after your cancellation request. The onus falls on the merchant to prove that you authorised the charge. In practice, Yafee has observed that banks often rule in the consumer's favour if you provide a dated cancellation confirmation.
Partial refunds and service credits
If you cancel partway through a billing cycle, the merchant may offer a pro-rata refund or service credit. Ask the merchant explicitly whether you are entitled to a refund for unused time. If the merchant declines and you believe this is unfair, escalate the dispute to CASE. The Consumers Association of Singapore often rules that partial refunds are justified when a consumer cancels mid-cycle.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancellation is achievable if you avoid these pitfalls, which we see regularly in consumer complaints at Yafee.
Contacting Ezpay before the merchant
Many consumers contact Ezpay first, expecting the platform to cancel their subscription immediately. Ezpay will redirect you back to the merchant, wasting 7 to 10 days. Always contact the merchant first. Ezpay is a payment intermediary, not the service provider.
Failing to obtain written confirmation
Verbal cancellations over the phone leave no evidence if the merchant later claims you did not request cancellation. Always request email confirmation. This is your proof if you need to file a dispute.
Not monitoring your statement after cancellation
Some merchants delay the cessation of billing by one or two cycles. If you do not check your bank statement for 60 days after cancellation, you may miss the window to dispute charges. Yafee recommends setting a reminder on your phone to check your statement on the merchant's next billing date.
Assuming a free trial cancellation is complete
If you signed up for a free trial but did not cancel before the trial ended, the merchant will charge you. Cancellation during a free trial does not prevent the charge-you must cancel before the trial expiry date. Many merchants send reminder emails 3 to 7 days before the charge takes effect; do not ignore these.
After cancellation: what to do and what to expect
Cancellation does not end immediately once you submit your request. Several steps follow to ensure the process is complete and irreversible.
Access revocation and timing
The merchant may revoke your access to the service within 24 hours of cancellation, or may allow access until the end of your current billing cycle. Check the merchant's cancellation policy to understand when your access will terminate. If you lose access before you expected, contact the merchant to confirm the cancellation was processed correctly.
Confirmation of recurring charge cessation
Wait for the merchant's next scheduled billing date (for example, one month after your cancellation). Verify that no charge appears on your statement. If a charge does appear, you have clear evidence that the cancellation failed, and you can immediately request a refund from Ezpay or dispute the charge through your bank.
Retention of cancellation evidence
Keep all cancellation confirmations, reference numbers, and supporting emails indefinitely. If the merchant re-charges you months later (a practice called "dark pattern" billing), you will have proof of your original cancellation request. Yafee recommends storing these documents in a dedicated email folder or cloud storage service.
Pricing and billing structure of Ezpay subscriptions
Understanding Ezpay's fee structure helps you calculate the true cost of cancellation delays and identify incorrectly applied charges.

Not recoverable from Ezpay |
Yafee notes that Ezpay itself does not set the price of the merchant's service-the merchant does. However, if Ezpay's platform fee appears on your statement as a separate line item, you can request a refund for that fee if you cancelled the underlying subscription. The merchant's subscription cost, however, is set by the merchant and cannot be refunded by Ezpay unless the merchant authorises it.

Ezpay's cancellation process is more cumbersome than direct platforms like PayPal or Apple, because Ezpay sits between you and the merchant. This intermediary role creates a two-step process. However, it also provides Yafee with a second escalation route: if the merchant ignores you, Ezpay can pressure the merchant to comply.
Use these details to escalate your cancellation if the merchant does not respond within 7 business days.
Ezpay primary contact
Ezpay operates a global platform with offices in multiple countries. For Singapore-specific support, direct your inquiry to Ezpay's Singapore office or use their international customer support portal. Include your transaction reference number, merchant name, and cancellation date in all correspondence. Ezpay typically responds to escalations within 5 to 7 business days.
Consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Ezpay fails to resolve your dispute within 14 days, lodge a complaint with CASE, Singapore's statutory consumer protection body. You can file a complaint free of charge via their website (case.org.sg) or visit their office at 1 Sophia Road, Singapore 228149. CASE will investigate whether the merchant or Ezpay acted unfairly and can compel refunds and penalties. Processing time is typically 30 to 60 days from submission.
Your bank or credit card issuer
If Ezpay and the merchant both refuse to refund you, request a chargeback from your bank or credit card issuer. This is a formal dispute initiated by your bank, and it reverses the unwanted charge pending investigation. Provide your bank with all cancellation confirmations and evidence of your request. Your bank will investigate at no cost to you and typically resolve the dispute within 30 to 60 days. If the merchant cannot prove you authorised the charge, the chargeback will succeed and your money will be restored.
Summary and next steps
Cancelling an Ezpay subscription is achievable if you follow the two-step process: contact the merchant first, then escalate to Ezpay only if the merchant fails to respond. Document every interaction, request written confirmation, and monitor your statement for 30 days after cancellation. Your rights are protected under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, and you have multiple escalation routes-CASE, bank chargeback, and Ezpay's own complaint process-if the merchant or platform refuses to honour your cancellation.
The most common cancellation delays occur when consumers contact Ezpay before the merchant, fail to obtain written confirmation, or ignore their bank statements after cancellation. Avoid these mistakes, and your cancellation will succeed within 7 to 14 days.
