Step-by-step per channel

• If cancelling via the app store, verify cancellation in your account subscription list and keep a screenshot of the cancelled status.
• When cancelling on Mijn FBTO, save or forward any confirmation email and note the effective cancellation date shown in the portal.
• Alternative channels: you can often cancel via chat, WhatsApp or by phone; written letters can be used (send to the postal address) if required.

What happens when you cancel

Access and coverage

After cancellation, your cover typically ends on the cancellation date displayed in your account or confirmation email.

Check whether you retain cover until the end of a paid period or whether cancellation is immediate; this is shown in the confirmation message.

Renewals and data

Automatic renewals stop once the subscription is cancelled; you should receive no further subscription charges from that product line.

Your account data (policy details, communications) may remain available in Mijn FBTO for a period; save any records you need for future reference.

Will I get a refund?

FBTO policy and practical notes

There is no explicit FBTO-specific refund policy located in the verified sources for South Africa, so refund entitlement is not confirmed from FBTO directly.

If you expect a refund, request written confirmation from FBTO and keep proof of the cancellation request and any replies.

South African consumer law and exceptions

• Under South African Consumer Protection Act you may have a 14‑day cooling-off right for policies longer than 31 days if no claim has been made; this can entitle you to a full refund minus the cost of any risk cover. Source: CPA guidance.
• Under the Long-term Insurance Act and Policyholder Protection Rules, policyholders can cancel a long-term policy within 31 days (if no benefit has been paid or an event covered has not occurred) and receive a refund of premiums paid, less the cost for any risk cover provided.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some customers report a clear and easy experience when taking out travel insurance or add-on covers through Fbto.

These positive notes are visible in review summaries. Example source: Trustpilot positive reviews.

Common complaints

• Verified reviews show many 1‑star ratings citing poor or impersonal customer service and difficulty contacting live agents. Source: Trustpilot.
• Other recurring issues include unexpected charges, slow responses and inconsistent support quality. Source: TradersUnion summary.

Documentation checklist

Required documents

• Policy number or subscription ID (from Mijn FBTO).
• Personal ID details used on the policy (name, ID/passport).
• Payment proof or last debit/credit transaction for the premium.

Helpful extras

• Confirmation email or screenshot showing cancellation or the subscription page.
• Written record of chat or phone reference numbers when available.
• Proof that no claim was made if you request a cooling-off refund.

Common mistakes

Missing confirmation

Failing to keep a cancellation confirmation email is common; without it, proving the effective date or request can be harder.

Always save a screenshot or forward the confirmation to your own email address.

Wrong channel or timing

Cancelling in the wrong app store account or using the wrong email can mean the policy remains active.

Also, attempting to cancel after the statutory cooling-off window can forfeit refund rights - check the 14‑day/31‑day periods that may apply.
