Frequently asked questions
Cancel Financial Times: The Right Way
How to cancel Financial Times in singapore and protect your refund rights
Why you might cancel Financial Times and what to know first
Financial Times delivers premium journalism across business, finance, economics and international affairs to readers worldwide, including Singapore. You subscribe for access to digital articles, analysis, newsletters, print editions, or a combination of these. Your subscription model determines your cancellation process and refund entitlements, which is why understanding your specific arrangement matters before you proceed.
You may be cancelling because your reading habits have shifted, you have switched to another news source, budget constraints have tightened, or the service no longer aligns with your needs. Whatever your reason, Yafee recognises that cancelling a subscription should be transparent, straightforward and legally compliant. This guide walks you through every step, grounded in Singapore's consumer protection framework.
Digital subscriptions versus print subscriptions
Financial Times offers two distinct subscription types in Singapore. Digital subscriptions on ft.com grant you immediate online access to articles, analysis and newsletters with no shipping involved. Print subscriptions deliver the newspaper to your door and often bundle digital access at no extra cost. The cancellation procedure and refund eligibility differ materially between these options, so identifying which you hold is your first task.
Third-party platform subscriptions
If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Google Play, or another third-party reseller, Financial Times does not manage your billing or cancellation directly. Instead, Apple, Google or that reseller controls your relationship. You must cancel through their platform, not through Financial Times itself. This distinction is crucial because different refund rules apply depending on your purchase source. Yafee advises checking your email receipts to confirm where your subscription originated before you attempt cancellation.
Your legal position under singapore's consumer protection framework
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) provides you with specific cancellation and refund rights when you purchase subscriptions online or at distance. Understanding these protections empowers you to exercise your entitlements confidently and escalate disputes if Financial Times refuses to comply.
The 14-day cooling-off period for distance contracts
Under the CPFTA, you have the right to cancel distance contracts (subscriptions purchased online or by mail) within 14 days of receiving the service, provided certain conditions are met. For print subscriptions, this 14-day window begins from the date you receive your first newspaper. You may cancel with no penalty and receive a full refund if you act within this period and have not materially used the product. This is a statutory right, not a discretionary offer. Financial Times must honour this window.
Your legal position: If you purchased a print or bundled subscription directly from Financial Times and cancel within 14 days of first delivery without having read the newspaper, you are entitled to a refund by law under the CPFTA. If Financial Times refuses, you may escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).
Refund rights for digital-only subscriptions
Digital-only subscriptions on ft.com are treated differently under consumer law. Once you have accessed the digital service, the CPFTA permits Financial Times to retain payment because you have already consumed the digital product. This is legally permissible and aligns with most online news publishers' policies. However, you retain the right to cancel at any time, and your subscription will not renew after your current billing period expires. You will not be charged for future periods once cancellation is processed.
Escalation rights if Financial Times refuses your cancellation
If Financial Times denies your cancellation request or refuses to process a refund to which you are legally entitled, you may lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE operates a dispute resolution service and can mediate between you and the publisher. Alternatively, you may contact the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) if you believe Financial Times has engaged in unfair or misleading conduct. Yafee recommends documenting all correspondence before escalating.
How to cancel a direct Financial Times subscription on ft.com
If you signed up directly on the Financial Times website, follow these precise steps to cancel your digital subscription in Singapore.
Step one: log into your Financial Times account
- Visit ft.com in your web browser.
- Click "Sign in" at the top right of the page.

- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the reset link sent to your email.
- Once logged in, you will land on your account dashboard or home feed.
Step two: navigate to your subscription settings
- Locate your account menu, typically a profile icon or "My Account" link in the top right corner.
- Select "Settings" or "Manage Subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your account.
- If you have multiple subscriptions (e.g., digital plus newsletters), each will appear separately.
Step three: select the subscription you want to cancel
- Identify the subscription you wish to cancel from the list (e.g., "Standard Digital" or "Premium Digital").
- Click the "Manage" or "Edit" button next to that subscription.
- Review the current billing cycle, renewal date and plan details.
Step four: initiate the cancellation
- Click "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel plan" on the subscription details page.
- Financial Times may ask you why you are cancelling. This feedback is optional; you may skip it or provide your reason.
- Review the cancellation confirmation message, which will state your final billing date and when access ends.
Step five: confirm cancellation and retain proof
- Click the final "Confirm cancellation" button to complete the process.
- You will receive a confirmation email at your registered address. Screenshot or save this email.
- Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period; it will not renew after that date.
- Access to all Financial Times content will cease on the expiry date stated in the confirmation.
How to cancel a Financial Times subscription via apple or google
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through those platforms, not through Financial Times itself. Your cancellation request goes to Apple or Google, and they process the refund if you are within the applicable window.
Cancel through apple app store
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
- Tap or click your profile icon (top right corner on iPhone/iPad, or top right on Mac).
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Find "Financial Times" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap or click "Financial Times" to open its details page.
- Tap or click "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted. You will receive a confirmation email from Apple.
Cancel through google play
- Open the Google Play app on your Android device or visit play.google.com on a computer.
- Tap your profile icon (bottom right on Android app, top right on web).
- Select "Subscriptions" or "Manage subscriptions".
- Find "Financial Times" in your active subscriptions.
- Tap or click "Financial Times" to view its details.
- Tap or click "Cancel subscription" at the bottom.
- Confirm cancellation. Google will send a confirmation email to your registered account address.
Print and bundled subscription cancellation
If you hold a print subscription or a print-plus-digital bundle, your cancellation process differs and may require direct contact with Financial Times' Singapore office.
Cancel a print subscription by email or letter
- Gather your account details, including your subscription reference number, email address and full name.
- Compose an email to Financial Times' customer service at the address listed below, or send a letter by post.
- State clearly that you wish to cancel your print subscription effective immediately or from your next renewal date.
- Include your reason for cancellation (optional but helpful for feedback).
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation and any refund due under the 14-day cooling-off period (if applicable).
- Send your cancellation request and await a response within 5 to 7 working days.
Your refund timeline for print subscriptions
If you cancel a print subscription within 14 days of receiving your first newspaper and have not materially opened or read it, you are entitled to a full refund of the subscription fee under the CPFTA. Financial Times must process this refund to your original payment method within 30 days of receiving your cancellation request. If you cancel after the 14-day window, you are not entitled to a refund for the remainder of your billing period, but you will not be charged for future periods after cancellation is processed.
Pricing and subscription plans overview
Understanding your current plan and its cost helps you estimate any potential refund and determine whether cancellation aligns with your budget.
| Subscription type | Billing cycle | Approximate SGD cost | Refund eligibility (if cancelled within 14 days) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital standard (ft.com) | Monthly | SGD 45 to SGD 65 | Not eligible (service consumed) |
| Digital premium (ft.com) | Monthly | SGD 70 to SGD 85 | Not eligible (service consumed) |
| Print + digital bundle | Monthly | SGD 120 to SGD 160 | Eligible if cancelled before first delivery opened |
| Print only | Monthly | SGD 100 to SGD 140 | Eligible if cancelled before first delivery opened |
| Apple App Store (digital) | Monthly | SGD 40 to SGD 70 | Apple's refund policy applies (30 days in some cases) |
| Google Play (digital) | Monthly | SGD 40 to SGD 70 | Google's refund policy applies (varies by purchase date) |
Prices fluctuate based on promotion codes, bundle combinations and currency fluctuations. Yafee recommends checking your most recent invoice to confirm your exact plan and cost before calculating any expected refund.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is processed, but your subscription does not terminate immediately. Understanding the post-cancellation timeline prevents confusion and ensures you retain access for the period you have paid.
Your access period after cancellation
When you cancel, your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your billing cycle ends on 30 April, you retain full access to Financial Times until 30 April. On 1 May, your access terminates. You will not be charged for May or any subsequent month.
Digital asset preservation
Once your subscription ends, you lose access to articles and exclusive content on ft.com. Saved articles and newsletters in your archive may no longer be retrievable depending on your previous settings. Yafee recommends exporting or saving any articles you wish to keep before your access expires.
Confirmation of cancellation
Financial Times will send a final email confirmation stating your cancellation effective date. Cross-reference this date with your calendar. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 2 working days, check your spam folder or contact Financial Times customer service to verify the cancellation was processed.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation is typically straightforward, but several pitfalls can delay or complicate your exit. Be aware of these traps so you navigate them confidently.
Mistake one: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed via Apple or Google, cancelling directly on ft.com will not work. Conversely, if you signed up on ft.com, Apple or Google cannot process your cancellation. Verify your subscription source by checking your email receipts. The receipt header will state where the charge originated. Yafee strongly advises confirming this before you attempt cancellation to avoid delays.
Mistake two: missing the 14-day refund window
For print subscriptions, the 14-day cooling-off period is strict. Once day 15 arrives, you forfeit refund rights for that billing cycle. Mark your calendar on the date you receive your first newspaper and count 14 days forward. If you intend to cancel and claim a refund, submit your request before day 15 ends.
Mistake three: assuming digital subscriptions are refundable after use
Digital subscriptions are non-refundable once accessed because you have consumed the service. Do not contact Financial Times expecting a refund for a digital-only subscription beyond the initial access period. However, you may cancel to prevent future billing. This distinction is important and legally sound under the CPFTA.
Mistake four: failing to retain cancellation proof
If a dispute arises-for example, if Financial Times charges you after you believe you have cancelled-you will need proof that cancellation was requested and confirmed. Screenshot or save your confirmation email immediately. This evidence is invaluable if you need to escalate to CASE or the CCCS.
Comparing cancellation options across platforms
Your subscription source determines your cancellation pathway. This table summarises the options and helps you choose the fastest, most effective route.
| Subscription source | Cancellation method | Processing time | Refund available |
|---|---|---|---|
| ft.com (direct) | Log in and click "Cancel subscription" | Instant | No (digital); yes (print, within 14 days) |
| Apple App Store | Settings > Subscriptions > Cancel | Instant | Apple's policy (varies) |
| Google Play | Play app > Subscriptions > Cancel | Instant | Google's policy (varies) |
| Print subscription (direct) | Email or letter to cancellation address | 5 to 7 days | Yes (within 14 days of first delivery) |
| Bundle (print + digital) | Email or letter; ft.com account cancellation applies to digital only | 5 to 7 days | Yes (print component, within 14 days) |
Refund processing and payment confirmation
If you are entitled to a refund, understanding how and when Financial Times processes it ensures you can track your money.
Refund eligibility recap
You are eligible for a refund if you cancel a print or bundled subscription within 14 days of receiving your first newspaper, provided you have not materially opened or read it. Digital-only subscriptions are not refundable once accessed. No other scenarios qualify for a refund under the CPFTA.
Refund processing timeline
Financial Times must refund your payment to your original payment method within 30 days of receiving your cancellation request. Monitor your bank or credit card account starting on day 20 to ensure the refund has posted. If you do not see the refund by day 31, contact Financial Times with your cancellation confirmation email and request a status update.
Refund amount calculation
If you are within the 14-day window, Financial Times should refund the full subscription fee for the current billing period. If you have been charged for a partial month, they may deduct a pro-rata amount for the days you had access, though most publishers refund the full amount if you cancel before accessing the product. Request an itemised refund breakdown if you dispute the amount.
What to do if Financial Times refuses to cancel or refund
Financial Times is obliged by law to honour cancellations and refunds within the legal window. If they refuse, you have recourse through Singapore's consumer protection authorities.
Step one: send a formal cancellation request via email
If you have verbally requested cancellation and Financial Times has not processed it, send a formal written request by email (see contact details below). State that you are cancelling your subscription effective immediately, provide your account reference number, and request written confirmation within 3 working days. Keep this email for your records.
Step two: escalate to the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Financial Times does not respond or refuses your cancellation and you believe you are entitled to a refund, lodge a complaint with CASE. You can file a complaint online at case.org.sg or by visiting their office. Provide your cancellation email, confirmation attempts and any correspondence from Financial Times. CASE will mediate on your behalf at no cost.
Step three: contact the competition and consumer commission of singapore (CCCS)
If CASE mediation fails or you believe Financial Times has engaged in unfair conduct (such as charging after cancellation or misleading refund terms), you may file a report with the CCCS. The CCCS investigates breaches of the CPFTA and has enforcement powers, including fines and injunctions. Visit cccs.gov.sg to submit a complaint.

Summary and your next steps
Cancelling Financial Times in Singapore is legally straightforward when you understand your subscription type and the applicable consumer protection rules. Digital-only subscriptions are non-refundable once accessed but can be cancelled instantly on ft.com, with no charge after the current billing period. Print and bundled subscriptions are refundable within 14 days of first delivery under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, provided you contact Financial Times by email or letter. If Financial Times refuses your cancellation or denies a lawful refund, escalate to CASE or the CCCS.
