Cancellation Raiz: Simple Process

What is Raiz in Malaysia and what exactly are you paying for

Raiz was built as a small-investing subscription service

Raiz is an investment platform built around the idea of investing spare change from daily spending into diversified portfolios. In Malaysia, it operated through Raiz Malaysia Sdn Bhd, and local reporting later stated that the company would cease operations here in 2024, with last withdrawal dates mentioned in September by New Straits Times.

That matters for cancellation because many users are not just stopping a media app or a fitness plan. They are stopping a paid investment service with recurring subscription billing, portfolio access, and account features tied to their app profile.

Main paid features under the subscription plans

The paid plans were positioned as monthly subscriptions, not one-off setup fees. The Lite plan was listed at $2.50 (RM12)* per month and included access to 3 preset portfolios plus Raiz Rewards, while the Regular plan was listed at $5.50 (RM26)* per month and added 8 preset portfolios, Raiz Rewards, Raiz Kids, and Raiz Jars.

So if you subscribed, you were paying for portfolio access and account tools, not just for money transfers. That is why cancelling the subscription matters even if you stop using the app. Deleting the app alone does not stop billing, according to the subscription terms at nikmas.studio.

How Raiz behaved in Malaysia

For Malaysian users, the support route points to Raiz Help, with customer service listed at +603-1234-5678, [email protected], and Live Chat on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM MYT. That gives you local channels to chase confirmation if the in-app or account route is unclear.

The business model shown in the available terms is straightforward auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of the billing period until you cancel, and the terms do not mention any minimum commitment period, cooling-off promise, or free trial details "nikmas.studio". If you want another robo or investing option after cancelling, local alternatives include StashAway, MyTheo, and Wahed Invest.

How to cancel Raiz without getting charged again

Checks to do before you touch the cancel button

Many Raiz members get annoyed at this stage because the steps are not always obvious, and some worry they will cancel too early and lose access straight away. The safer approach is to spend 5 minutes checking your billing date, current plan name, and latest successful charge before you cancel.

Open your account and take screenshots of your current subscription page, plan type, billing amount, and the date of your last renewal. If your plan was Lite at $2.50 (RM12)* or Regular at $5.50 (RM26)*, save that screen because it helps later if the wrong amount is charged.

• Screenshot the subscription page and current plan
• Note the next billing date in your calendar
• Save recent email receipts and bank or card statements
• Export or record any portfolio information you still need

Web or account cancellation path

If your Raiz subscription was managed directly through the service account, the cleanest route is through the account settings page. The path given in the subscription terms is: log in to your account, go to Settings, choose Subscription, then click Cancel Plan "nikmas.studio".

Once you press Cancel Plan, auto-renewal should be disabled and you should keep access to subscription features until the end of the current billing period. This is the key point many people miss lah: cancellation stops the next renewal, not the remaining days you already paid for.

If the interface is not clear, open Raiz Help in another tab while logged in. Users in Malaysia have reported confusion when trying to find the cancellation menu, so take a screenshot at each step until you see the final confirmation page.

Email, phone, live chat, and postal backup options

If the account route fails or the confirmation email never arrives, contact support the same day. The available contact points are [email protected], phone +603-1234-5678, and Live Chat through the help page, Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM MYT.

Use short, specific wording. State your full name, registered email, mobile number, plan, last charge amount, and the sentence that you want the subscription cancelled with no further auto-renewal. Ask them to reply with written confirmation and the exact end date of access.

• Email: [email protected]
• Phone: +603-1234-5678
• Live Chat: available on the help page
• Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM MYT

If you want an extra paper trail, you can also send a postal cancellation notice to the Kuala Lumpur correspondence address. Some consumers now use a certified digital letter service such as Postclic instead of traditional registered post because it creates timestamped proof of sending, receipt, and opening.

Use post only as a backup, not as your main route, because the available subscription terms point to account-based cancellation. Still, if support goes quiet, a dated written notice helps when escalating to your bank, KPDN, or TTPM.

After you cancel, what changes and what stays active

Your paid access usually remains until the end of the billing period

A common fear is losing access instantly after pressing cancel. The available subscription terms say that when you cancel through your account, automatic renewal is disabled and you retain access to all subscription features until the end of the current billing period "nikmas.studio".

Example: if your monthly renewal is on 28 August and you cancel on 15 August, you should still have subscription access until 27 August, with no new renewal on 28 August. If your account shows a different end date, save that screen and ask support to confirm it in writing.

If you do nothing, the subscription keeps renewing automatically

The terms are very clear on auto-renewal. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, whether that period is weekly, monthly, 6 months, yearly, or another option chosen at purchase "nikmas.studio".

That means uninstalling the app, logging out, or simply stopping use does not stop the recurring charge. If you miss the cut-off and the renewal goes through, Raiz's published refund position is strict, so prevention is much easier than chasing money back later.

Data and account records are not clearly explained

The available terms do not explain what happens to user data after cancellation. They also do not say how long account records, portfolio history, or profile details are retained after a paid plan ends.

Because that point is unclear, save anything you may need before cancelling. Download statements if available, capture portfolio balances, and keep your cancellation proof together with payment receipts. If Malaysia operations have already ceased for your account type, access could become harder later, can or not depending on system availability.

Refund policy for cancelled subscriptions and disputed charges

Raiz-related subscription terms point to a strict no-refund approach

This is where many users feel the most frustrated, especially if they cancel shortly after renewal and expect a partial refund. The published refund wording in the supplied terms is strict: all subscription fees are non-refundable, and no full or partial refund is offered whether the period is used or unused, whether billed monthly, annually, or as a one-time payment "ezflow.my".

Another supplied terms source says no refunds or partial refunds are issued for unused days in a billing period "geofitai.com". In practical terms, if the renewal has already happened, your chance of getting back ordinary subscription fees is low unless there was an actual billing error or an unauthorised charge.

Malaysia consumer rights can still matter when charges are unfair

Malaysia does not give a blanket statutory cooling-off period for subscription services. Still, under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, consumers can cancel future services contracts, and there may be room to argue for refund of an unused portion in some situations, especially where the service was not properly delivered or billing was unfair.

That does not automatically override every no-refund clause, but it gives you a sensible basis to complain if you were charged after cancelling or if the service stopped working while fees continued. For platform downtime exceeding 24 consecutive hours due to causes within the company's control, the supplied terms mention possible pro-rated service credits, not cash refunds, applied to the next billing cycle at the company's discretion "ezflow.my".

How to ask for a refund or billing reversal

Start with support and keep it factual. Send your request to [email protected] and include your full name, account email, transaction date, amount, and proof of cancellation if you had already cancelled before the charge hit.

• State the exact charge date and amount
• Attach your cancellation screenshot or email
• Ask whether the charge was post-cancellation
• Request written confirmation within 5 business days

If support ignores you, raise it through Live Chat and phone +603-1234-5678 during weekday support hours. If the issue is an unauthorised or recurring card charge after cancellation, contact your issuing bank and ask to dispute the transaction as a chargeback within about 60 to 120 days, depending on bank and card network rules under Bank Negara Malaysia's complaint-handling framework.

Raiz subscription terms that affect cancellation timing

The auto-renewal clause is the one that matters most

The key clause says the subscription renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel "nikmas.studio". That means your real deadline is not the end of the month in general, but the end of your own billing cycle.

The same terms also say that deleting the app does not cancel subscriptions. If you only remove the app from your phone, billing can continue and that is one of the most common avoidable mistakes in subscription disputes.

What the terms do not clearly spell out

The terms do not specify a minimum commitment duration. They also do not specify free trial conditions, conversion from trial to paid, applicable governing law, data retention after cancellation, or dispute resolution process "nikmas.studio".

That lack of detail is not ideal for consumers because it leaves some practical questions unanswered. For Malaysian users, the safest move is simple: cancel before the next billing date, keep written proof, and escalate quickly if any charge appears after your cancellation timestamp.

Raiz plans and pricing for Malaysian users

Subscription plan table

Prices are approximate, converted from USD at the rate 1 USD ≈ 4.72 MYR. Check the official service pages for the exact local amount charged to your account.

Which plan costs more and when cancelling makes sense

The cheaper paid option is Lite at $2.50 (RM12)* per month, while Regular is more than double at $5.50 (RM26)* per month. If you are paying for Regular but not using Raiz Kids or Raiz Jars, that higher plan is easier to cut without much practical loss.

There is no verified annual retail pricing in the supplied Malaysia subscription data, so monthly cost is the main benchmark here. For many users, the real trigger to cancel is not just price but whether the paid tools are still accessible or relevant given the Malaysia closure reports.

Fee notes and what is not clear

No cancellation fee was found in the available subscription terms, and no early termination fee was identified either. That is good news because it means the main money risk is renewal timing, not an exit penalty.

One extra note in the broader Raiz ecosystem mentions investment-related annual fees that vary by option, with one example showing $376.70 on a $50,000 balance for a Conservative Portfolio. That figure is not a standard Malaysia monthly subscription fee, so do not confuse portfolio fees with the recurring Lite or Regular plan charges.

If Raiz charges you unfairly, your rights in Malaysia are still there

The law in Malaysia is more useful than the terms on some points

The Consumer Protection Act 1999 is the core law for subscription-related consumer issues in Malaysia. For future services contracts, it supports the consumer's ability to cancel and may support claims for unused portions in some situations, even though the service terms supplied here do not promise refunds or a cooling-off period.

Raiz-related terms do not mention a cooling-off period or withdrawal right "nikmas.studio". Malaysian law also does not create a general cooling-off period for ordinary subscription services, so your strongest arguments usually come from unfair charging, non-delivery, misleading process, or continued billing after a valid cancellation.

How to escalate beyond support

If Raiz support does not fix a post-cancellation charge, start with a written complaint to the company and keep copies of every email, screenshot, chat log, and bank statement. If the matter remains unresolved, you can raise it with KPDN and consider filing at the Tribunal for Consumer Claims Malaysia, known as TTPM.

For card disputes, contact your issuing bank and say clearly that you want to dispute an unauthorised or recurring charge after cancellation. Under Bank Negara Malaysia's financial consumer protection framework, banks handle these complaints using card-network timelines, commonly around 60 to 120 days from the transaction date or discovery date.

Useful Malaysian authorities for complaints

KPDN is the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, and TTPM is the consumer tribunal route for practical small-value disputes. For service-sector communication issues, the supplied research also points to MCMC as a relevant authority reference.

• KPDN for consumer complaint escalation
• TTPM for consumer claims filing
• Your issuing bank for chargeback disputes
• MCMC for communications-related complaint context

What customers and published reports suggest about the cancellation experience

Overall verdict: more difficult than it should be

Based on the supplied review set, the sentiment trend is 0 positive and 5 negative out of 5 unique reviews. That is a very poor pattern, and it matches the common local issues listed in the research: users say the cancellation path can be confusing and confirmation emails may arrive late.

To be fair, the available data is heavier on criticism than on direct hands-on praise, so the picture is not balanced by positive cancellation stories. A small positive is that there is a stated account cancellation path and local support channels, which at least gives users several ways to create a paper trail.

The documents you should save before and after cancellation

Before you cancel, build your proof file

If a charge appears later, your best defence is a neat file with dates and screenshots. Save a screenshot of the Settings and Subscription pages, the plan name, the amount billed, and the last successful transaction shown by your bank or card app.

Also save your registered email address, mobile number, and any portfolio summary you may need later. Since the terms do not explain data retention after cancellation, assume you may not have easy access forever.

What to keep for refunds, complaints, and bank disputes

For a refund request or chargeback, keep the transaction date, amount, merchant descriptor, and cancellation timestamp. If support replied by email or Live Chat, export that thread as a PDF or take clear screenshots with time and date visible.

• Cancellation confirmation screen
• Confirmation email from support
• Bank or card statement
• Chat transcript or call notes

The mistakes that cause the most trouble with Raiz cancellation

Deleting the app and assuming the subscription is gone

This is the classic trap. The terms say deleting the app does not cancel subscriptions "nikmas.studio", so users who remove the app but never tap Cancel Plan can still be renewed.

Solution: log in properly, open Settings, go to Subscription, and use Cancel Plan. Then save the final confirmation page immediately.

Missing the billing deadline by a day

If your plan renews on the 12th and you cancel on the 12th after the charge has processed, you may be stuck with another full cycle because the published refund stance is no refunds for used or unused time "ezflow.my" and "geofitai.com".

Solution: cancel at least 24 hours before your expected renewal date. That buffer is especially useful if support response is slow or your bank posts transactions overnight.

Expecting a pro-rated refund after voluntary cancellation

Some users assume they will get back half a month if they cancel halfway through. The available terms point the other way: no full or partial refunds for unused days, and any downtime remedy mentioned is service credit, not cash "ezflow.my".

Solution: cancel before renewal, not after. If you were charged after cancelling, that is a dispute case. If you simply changed your mind after renewal, refund odds are much weaker.

Not chasing missing confirmation emails

Local issue data says some users face delays in receiving confirmation emails after initiating cancellation. If you wait passively and the next billing date arrives, proving your timeline becomes harder.

Solution: if no email comes within the same day, contact Live Chat, email [email protected], and call +603-1234-5678 during working hours. Ask for a written reply that states auto-renewal is off.

Using only one channel when the account path is unclear

Users report navigation difficulties in the cancellation process, which means a single failed attempt may not be enough. If the cancellation path is confusing, relying on memory later is risky.

Solution: use a layered approach. Try the account route, then send an email, then save a chat transcript. If needed, send a dated written notice to the Kuala Lumpur address as a backup record.

A practical comparison of the available cancellation routes

Cancellation methods table

Key takeaway for Malaysian users

The web or account route is the fastest because it is the path named directly in the subscription terms. Email and chat are useful when the menu is confusing or when you need human confirmation with a timestamp.

Postal notice is slower but useful as backup if support stops replying, especially for a claim to KPDN, TTPM, or your bank. No single method fits everyone, so choose based on how close you are to the next billing date and how much proof you want.

You cancelled, so what should you do in the next 30 days

Immediate checks in the first 24 hours

Right after cancellation, confirm that your account no longer shows active auto-renewal. Save one screenshot of the cancellation result, one screenshot of your current access end date, and set a calendar reminder 2 days before the next expected billing date.

If support confirmed by email, save that message offline. If they confirmed by phone, write down the date, time, agent name, and summary of what was said.

Watch your bank statement and escalate fast if charged

Monitor your card or bank statement for at least 30 to 60 days, especially if your billing cycle was near the cancellation date. If a recurring charge appears after cancellation, contact Raiz support first and then your issuing bank if the matter is not corrected quickly.

In Malaysia, this is usually called a chargeback or a dispute of an unauthorised or recurring card transaction. The bank's deadline is commonly around 60 to 120 days, depending on the bank and card network, so do not sit on it.

Alternatives and useful links

If you still want a digital investing platform after leaving Raiz, StashAway is known for personalised portfolios with fees from 0.2% to 0.8% per annum, MyTheo starts at 0.5% per annum plus fund fees, and Wahed Invest offers Shariah-compliant investing at 0.49% per annum. These are not direct substitutes for every feature, but they are the closest local category options from the supplied research.

If you need a physical address for written cancellation

The available correspondence address in Kuala Lumpur

If you want to send a written notice, use this address for correspondence purposes:

• Jalan Tun Razak, Pekeliling, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur 50400, Malaysia

Include your full name, registered email, mobile number, plan, last charge amount, and the date you requested cancellation online. Ask for written confirmation that auto-renewal has been disabled.

When a physical letter makes sense

For most users, online cancellation through the account plus an email to support is the senang route. A physical letter is mainly useful if support does not reply, if you need a stronger paper trail for KPDN or TTPM, or if you are disputing charges after the Malaysia operation changes reported in 2024.

Send the letter early enough to allow delivery time, ideally 5 to 10 business days before the next billing date. Keep a copy of the letter and delivery proof together with your screenshots and bank statement.
