Cancellation Fidelis: Easy Method

What is Fidelis

Overview

Fidelis is a South African health and wellness and provident fund service operating via workplace arrangements and group offerings. It provides membership-based benefits and is associated with employer-sponsored administration.

Administration

The Fidelis Provident Fund is administered by WSM Employee Benefit Administrators (Pty) Ltd. Fidelis offerings may include a workplace insurance-group app and provident fund arrangements.

How to cancel Fidelis

Employer or administrator cancellation

• Contact your employer HR or benefits coordinator to confirm whether membership is employer-sponsored.
• Request the required cancellation form or written confirmation from the scheme administrator.

Direct cancellation steps

• Gather member details: full name, ID number, membership number, employer name, and effective cancellation date.
• Submit a written cancellation request to the scheme administrator or your HR department using email or a signed form.
• Ask for written confirmation of receipt and a final statement showing any outstanding amounts or termination date.

What happens when you cancel

On cancellation, access to Fidelis group benefits will cease on the effective termination date provided by the administrator. Employer-sponsored benefits often end the day your employment or membership ends.

Customer experiences

Common positive points

Common concerns

Some members report administrative delays or uncertainty about refunds and final statements when cancelling. Clear communication with HR and the administrator can reduce these issues.
