Cancellation Stash: Easy Method
What is Stash
Overview
Stash is a personal finance and micro‑investment app that helps users save and invest small amounts over time.
The app offers tools for beginner investors to build portfolios and learn about investing.
Availability in South Africa
In South Africa, Stash is offered via local partners and is free to download and use as of 2024/2025.
Users typically contribute spare‑change amounts (for example from R5 per day) rather than paying a periodic plan fee.
How to cancel Stash
Cancel via web or app
- Open Stash on the web (https://www.stash.com/) or in the mobile app.
- Navigate to the "Cancel my plan" or "Canceling Your Plan" screen in account settings.
- Follow the on‑screen prompts to confirm cancellation; completion can take up to 10 business days.
- A confirmation email is sent after the cancellation is completed.
Cancel external subscriptions and app notes
- Deleting the mobile app does NOT cancel a subscription or linked services; you must cancel in the App Store, Google Play subscriptions menu, or via Stash web/app.
- If you used a store subscription (Apple/Google), cancel that subscription in the respective store to stop future charges.

- For digital/in‑game items purchased via stash.gg, refunds are generally not available if the item was downloaded, claimed, used, redeemed, or more than 14 days have passed.

South African consumer protections

- If a cancellation is valid, vendors are required to refund within 30 days; clauses saying "no refunds" do not override these rights.

Common mistakes
Assuming deleting the app cancels your account
Removing the Stash mobile app does not cancel your subscription or close your account.
Always cancel via the app settings, the website, or the App Store/Google Play subscriptions menu.
Not checking linked bank details
If you cancel without a linked external bank, remaining cash may be mailed as a physical check (7 - 10 business days).
Confirm or add a bank before cancelling if you prefer electronic transfer.
