How to cancel your Webull trading account in singapore and protect your funds
Understanding Webull and why you might want to cancel
Webull is a digital trading platform that gives you access to real-time market data, charting tools and order execution across multiple markets. In Singapore, Webull Securities (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and Webull Technologies Pte. Ltd. operate the Webull app and website, offering commission-based trading for stocks, ETFs and derivatives on exchanges including the Singapore Exchange (SGX). You may use Webull for active trading, but subscription features like Webull Premium-which unlock higher cash yields, lower margin rates and premium market data-might no longer fit your strategy or budget.
Whether you are consolidating your trading accounts, switching to another broker or simply cutting back on expenses, you should have the right to cancel cleanly and transparently. Yafee has helped thousands of traders navigate subscription cancellations and protect their financial accounts, and this guide walks you through every step.
Core services and subscription types
Webull offers two distinct layers of fees. Subscription plans, such as Webull Premium at SGD 3.99 per month or SGD 40 per year, unlock premium features. Trade-specific commissions on SGX trades are charged separately, outside your subscription tier. You may hold a free account with basic tools, or pay for premium features that enhance your trading experience. Understanding which services you have actually subscribed to is your first step toward a clean cancellation.
Common reasons to cancel your account
You might cancel because you have found a cheaper broker, stopped active trading, or discovered you do not use the premium features often enough to justify the cost. You may also close your account if you are relocating, consolidating multiple brokers, or switching to a platform that better aligns with your investment goals. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to walk you through every step and ensure you do not encounter hidden charges or forgotten auto-renewals after you leave.
Your consumer rights in singapore
Singapore's legal framework protects your interests when you cancel a subscription or trading account.
Key protections under singapore consumer law
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, Webull cannot impose unfair contract terms on you. This means the company must clearly disclose auto-renewal dates, billing amounts and cancellation processes before you subscribe. If Webull charges you after you cancel, or makes cancellation deliberately difficult, you have grounds to dispute those charges with your bank or card issuer. The law explicitly prohibits misleading representations about the cost, duration and cancellation terms of any subscription service.
Furthermore, the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) requires Webull to handle your personal and financial data securely. If you request account closure, the company must inform you of its data retention policies and your rights to access or delete your information.
Your legal position
You have the legal right to cancel your Webull subscription or trading account at any time without penalty. Auto-renewal of subscription fees is prohibited unless you have expressly consented in writing to the renewal terms and the company has obtained your clear, affirmative consent before each renewal. If Webull charges you after you cancel, you can dispute the charge with your payment provider or escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
Escalation and dispute channels
If Webull refuses to refund you or ignores your cancellation request, you can escalate to CASE, which offers free mediation services and can investigate unfair trading practices. CASE operates as Singapore's independent consumer advocacy body and has the authority to investigate complaints against financial service providers. Keep all cancellation confirmations, emails and payment records as evidence. Yafee recommends documenting every step of your cancellation journey so you have proof if you need to dispute charges later.

Additional costs to monitor
Commission and platform fees for SGX trades are charged separately from your subscription. Some new account promotions offer commission-free trading for a limited period; these promotions end automatically, so you do not need to cancel them separately. Margin lending interest is charged daily if you hold borrowed positions, and this fee continues even if you cancel your Premium subscription. Before you cancel, review your account to see whether you owe any margin interest, pending commissions or other outstanding fees.
Step-by-step guide to cancelling your Webull account
Follow these steps to cancel your Webull subscription or close your trading account entirely.
Step 1: log in and review your account status
- Open the Webull app or visit the Webull website and log in with your credentials.
- Navigate to your account settings or profile menu, usually found in the top right corner.
- Review your current subscription plan and check your billing history to see when your next charge is due.
- Check whether you hold any open positions, pending orders or margin debt. You cannot close your account if you have outstanding positions; you must sell or close them first.
- Note the date of your last subscription charge so you can verify whether a refund is due.
Step 2: cancel your premium subscription
- In your account settings, locate the Subscription or Billing section.
- Select Webull Premium and choose the option to cancel or unsubscribe.
- Webull will ask you to confirm your cancellation. Do not skip this step; cancellation is only effective when you confirm it.
- The platform should display a cancellation confirmation message or reference number. Screenshot or save this confirmation immediately.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Webull. If you do not receive one within 24 hours, contact Webull support to verify your cancellation went through.
Step 3: contact Webull support if the app option does not work
- If the subscription cancellation option is not visible in your app or account settings, contact Webull customer support directly.
- Send an email to Webull's support address (typically [email protected] or via the in-app chat function) stating that you want to cancel your Premium subscription immediately.
- Include your account number, full name and registered email address.
- Request a written confirmation of your cancellation and specify the date from which you do not want to be charged.
- Keep a copy of your email for your records.
Step 4: request account closure if you want to leave entirely
- If you want to close your entire Webull account, not just cancel the Premium subscription, submit a separate account closure request.
- Contact Webull support in writing and explicitly state that you want to close your trading account.
- Confirm that you have sold all positions and have no outstanding margin debt.
- Request confirmation of your account closure date and final account statement.
- Ask about the timeline for any pending refunds or final settlement.
Step 5: verify the cancellation on your next billing cycle
- Mark your calendar for your next billing date (typically monthly or annually, depending on your plan).
- Check your bank or credit card statement after that date to confirm you were not charged.
- If you see a charge after you cancelled, contact Webull support immediately and request a refund, citing your cancellation confirmation.
- If Webull does not refund the charge within 7 working days, raise a dispute with your bank or card issuer.
Refunds and billing after cancellation
Understanding your refund rights is critical to ensuring you are not overcharged after you cancel.
When you are entitled to a refund
You are entitled to a refund if Webull charges you after your cancellation confirmation date. Most Singapore financial regulators and payment processors expect refunds to be processed within 14 working days. If you cancelled mid-billing cycle and paid for a full month or year, Webull may not offer pro-rata refunds (refunds for unused days); however, you can negotiate this with their support team or escalate through CASE if the company refuses.
If you cancelled your account entirely and have a positive account balance (for example, from cash deposits or dividends), you must request a withdrawal of those funds before closing your account. Webull will process this withdrawal to your registered bank account within 5 to 10 working days.
Disputing unauthorized charges
If Webull charges you after you cancelled, take these steps:
- Contact Webull support within 7 days of the unauthorized charge and request an immediate refund.
- Provide your cancellation confirmation reference number and a screenshot of the unwanted charge.
- If Webull does not respond or refuses to refund, raise a dispute with your bank or credit card company.
- Tell your bank that you cancelled the subscription and did not authorize the charge.
- Your bank or card issuer will initiate a chargeback, which forces Webull to reverse the charge or provide proof that you authorized it.
- Keep all communications and evidence (cancellation confirmation, bank statements, emails) throughout this process.
What happens after you cancel your Webull account
Cancellation does not mean your account disappears immediately; understanding the aftermath helps you avoid surprise charges and data issues.
Account access and data retention
After you cancel your Premium subscription, you can still access your free trading account and view your transaction history. Your account data, transaction records and tax documents remain available for at least 5 years, as required by Singapore's financial regulations. If you close your entire account, Webull must retain certain records for regulatory compliance, but you will no longer be able to trade or deposit funds.
Tax documents and capital gains records
After cancellation, you can still download year-end tax statements, transaction reports and capital gains documents from your account settings. Do not rely on Webull to email these to you; log in and download them yourself before you close your account permanently. These documents are essential for your personal tax returns and financial records.
Linked payment methods
After you cancel your subscription, remove any linked bank accounts or credit cards from your Webull account if you do not plan to trade anymore. This prevents accidental charges if Webull relaunches a promotion or reactivates your account. Navigate to your payment settings and delete or unlink each payment method.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Webull
Cancellation can be straightforward if you avoid these pitfalls. Yafee has seen countless traders lose money or face disputes because they missed a single step, so read carefully.
Mistake 1: assuming the app subscription cancellation closed your account
Cancelling your Premium subscription does not close your trading account. Your free account will remain open, and you can still be charged for trade commissions, margin interest or future promotional subscriptions unless you explicitly request account closure.
Mistake 2: not keeping a cancellation confirmation
If you cancel via the app and do not screenshot or save the confirmation message, you have no proof that you cancelled. Yafee strongly recommends taking a screenshot of any confirmation screen and saving the email confirmation Webull sends you. Without this proof, Webull may claim you never cancelled if a charge appears on your statement.
Mistake 3: forgetting to close all open positions
You cannot close your account if you hold open buy or sell orders or margin positions. Before you request account closure, sell or cancel every position. If you leave positions open, your account will remain active and you will continue to pay platform fees and interest charges.
Mistake 4: failing to remove linked payment methods
Cancellation does not automatically unlink your bank account or credit card from Webull. If you do not manually remove these payment methods, Webull can attempt to charge you again if you inadvertently reactivate your subscription or if the company encounters a system error during account closure.
Mistake 5: not checking your statement after cancellation
The most common mistake is assuming that cancellation worked and never checking your bank statement again. Mark your next billing date on your calendar and verify that you were not charged. If a charge appears, respond quickly; the longer you wait, the harder it is to recover the money.
Keeping or downgrading your Webull account instead of cancelling
Cancellation is not always the right choice; sometimes downgrading or pausing your account is a better option.
Downgrade to the free plan
If you still want to trade occasionally but do not need premium features, downgrade to Webull's free trading account instead of cancelling. You keep your account history, transaction records and portfolio, but you eliminate the Premium subscription fee. Simply navigate to your subscription settings and select "Cancel Premium" or "Downgrade to Free." This is often faster than full account closure and leaves the door open if you want to reactivate Premium later.
Pause your account temporarily
Some users pause their Webull account for a few months if they are taking a break from active trading. Contact Webull support and ask whether they offer an account suspension feature. During suspension, your account and data remain intact, but you cannot trade and no subscription fees are charged. This option is useful if you expect to return to trading in the future.
Compare alternatives before you cancel
Before you cancel, compare Webull's fees and features against other brokers operating in Singapore. Some competitors offer lower commissions on SGX trades, no premium subscription fees, or better cash yields. If you are switching because of fees, ensure the alternative platform offers genuine savings after you account for trading commissions, account maintenance fees and data charges.
