Is there a Banxa cancellation fee?

No, there is no subscription and no documented cancellation or exit fee. What you can lose is the fee stack already applied to the order: on card and Apple Pay buys Banxa charges a **1.99% processing fee** plus a network fee, and a spread built into the quoted price (typically 2-4% platform spread, plus 0-1% partner spread and a €0-1 recovery spread). Non-card buys and sells carry no processing fee. For a genuinely cancelled or unvalidated order the whole amount should come back; if only part returns, ask for a line-by-line breakdown of what was retained and why.

Does Banxa have a free trial or subscription I need to cancel?

No. Banxa is a crypto on/off-ramp payment processor embedded in wallets and exchanges, there is no free trial, no membership and no recurring billing to switch off, and nothing in its pricing or support documentation describes an auto-renewing plan. If you are seeing repeat Banxa charges on a card statement, they are separate one-off orders, not a subscription renewal, so the fix is to dispute the individual charges with Banxa and your bank and to remove the saved card from the wallet or exchange that referred you rather than hunting for a cancel button.

Can I cancel a Banxa order by phone?

Realistically, no. Banxa's help centre routes everything to support.banxa.com and its terms say written notices must be sent to support@banxa.com; consumer directories list regional numbers, but reviewers report calls that reach only a recording telling complainants to email, and one BBB complainant said they could never speak to a person. Since an order becomes final roughly 20 minutes after payment validation, a phone queue is the wrong tool anyway. Send the written request immediately with the order reference, then use phone or complaints channels only as follow-up pressure on a refund that has stalled.

Why is my Banxa order stuck pending, can I cancel and buy elsewhere?

Pending usually means verification, source-of-funds checks or a payment/amount mismatch, and reviewers report first-time orders being held after payment. You have leverage while it is still pending: ask support to either fulfil it now at the quoted price or cancel it with a full refund, Banxa already offers exactly that choice in its pricing FAQ when it cannot honour a quoted price. If you cancel, expect the funds back to the original card or account in about 10 business days (cards up to 28), so don't count on recycling the same money into another purchase immediately.

Will I lose access to my crypto or account if I stop using Banxa?

No, Banxa is a ramp, not a custodian of your holdings: purchased crypto is sent to the wallet you nominated, so it stays with you and your wallet provider whether or not you use Banxa again. What you can lose is the transaction history, invoices and KYC records tied to your Banxa account, which matter for tax and for any live dispute. Before you walk away, download or screenshot order confirmations, receipts and any tax invoice, and keep the order references, you will need them if a refund or complaint is still open.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Banxa?

Usually one of three things: the cancellation never completed (no written confirmation), the subscription bills through Apple or Google and must be cancelled there, or a minimum term is still running. Charges continuing after a confirmed cancellation can be disputed with your bank as a chargeback.

How do I delete my Banxa account?

Cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion in settings or by email. If there is no self-serve option, email a written erasure request citing the applicable data-protection law; most companies complete erasure within about 30 days.

Banxa plans you can cancel

Buy order, card / Apple Pay
No recurring plan exists. Charges are per-order: a 1.99% processing fee plus a network fee on card/Apple Pay buys, plus a spread (typically 2-4% Banxa/EUIV spread, 0-1% partner spread, €0-1 recovery spread). Cancellable only while the order is still pending.
Buy order, bank transfer / SEPA and other methods
No processing fee on non-card buys and no processing fee on SELL orders; a network fee applies to buys and a spread still applies. Pending orders only can be stopped.
Sell order (crypto to fiat, SEPA payout)
No processing fee on sells; spread applies. Once you have sent coins to Banxa the sell cannot be unwound.

What happens to what you’ve already paid

Banxa sells one-off crypto purchase/sale orders, not a subscription, so there is no billing cycle or cancellation fee, the only refundable charge type is an order that was cancelled or never validated. For those failed BUY orders Banxa says refunds start automatically without you contacting them: card pre-authorisations are released, and funds typically land in about 10 business days, with credit-card refunds sometimes taking up to 28 days depending on the issuer. Bank-transfer/cash payments are refunded manually by the support team, so those are the ones worth chasing with your order reference. Completed orders where crypto was actually delivered to your wallet are not refundable at all, Banxa treats on-chain transfers as irrevocable, including in scam cases, where it points you to your bank and the police instead.

“If however, you have tried to create an order and have been charged (the balance appears to have been deducted from your bank account/card) but for some reason, the order is not VALIDATED (and therefore no coins have been sent), you are entitled to a refund.”

Does Banxa charge a cancellation fee?

Banxa’s terms mention conditions worth checking before you cancel, see the plan notes and policy quote above for the specifics we found. In general: rolling monthly plans end at the period you’ve already paid for with nothing extra to pay, while minimum-term or contract plans can carry an early-exit charge until the term ends. If you signed up online within the last 14 days, the EU Consumer Rights Directive gives you a cooling-off right to walk away, fee-free, for most digital subscriptions.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Banxa

Based on 5 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Asking Banxa to reverse a completed order after the crypto has been sent, Banxa's help centre states digital asset transactions are irrevocable and that once a coin is sent it cannot be refunded or recovered; finalised orders cannot be cancelled once payment validation completes (typically within 20 minutes).
✕ Phoning the directory-listed Banxa numbers to cancel or chase a refund, Consumer reports say calls are not answered by an agent, one reviewer describes only a recording telling complainants to use email, and a BBB complainant says they could not speak to a person at all.
✕ Cancelling through the partner app you started from (MetaMask, Binance, Bybit, Bitget, Changelly), Banxa is the on/off-ramp processor behind those checkouts; the partner holds no control over the Banxa order, and Banxa asks for the Banxa Order Reference or the email/full name used on the order before it will act.
✕ Waiting quietly for an auto-refund on a bank-transfer order, Cash/bank payment refunds are reviewed and executed manually by the support team, and multiple reviewers report refunds promised by email that never arrived until they escalated or disputed with their bank.
✕ Expecting a fast answer from a single support ticket, Reviewers repeatedly report unanswered emails and templated 'we are sorry we haven't replied to you yet' holding responses; the complaints process itself allows 10 business days (EU entity: 40-45 business days) for a full response.

Cancelled Banxa but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Banxa, treat it as not cancelled. Email support@banxa.com referencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since.
You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Banxa’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Banxa charges again.

How Banxa will try to keep you

Banxa may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Deflection to your bank, 'refunds can take up to 10 business days, contact your financial institution if longer'.”
You say: Ask Banxa for the refund evidence rather than accepting the deflection: the date the refund/reversal was issued, the ARN or acquirer reference, and the written confirmation of cancellation Banxa says it can provide. Without an ARN your bank cannot trace anything, so the ask is reasonable and hard to refuse.
They’ll say: “The 'crypto is irreversible' template reply, used even where no coins were ever delivered.”
You say: Separate the two cases in writing: if the order was never VALIDATED and no coins reached your wallet, Banxa's own help centre says you are entitled to a refund, quote that line and the order reference, and state you are not asking for an on-chain reversal.
They’ll say: “Ticket silence / holding replies ('your query is important to us, we will respond as soon as we can').”
You say: Convert the ticket into a formal complaint on day one. Banxa's process commits to resolving within 10 business days or requesting further documents inside that window, and the EU entity must acknowledge within 5 business days and respond fully within 40 (max 45). Naming those deadlines and asking for a written outcome resets the clock and creates a paper trail.
They’ll say: “'The order was already processed, there is nothing we can do' on unauthorised/scam charges.”
You say: Run the bank track in parallel rather than instead: open a card chargeback or unauthorised-payment claim immediately (card purchases start as a pre-authorisation, so timing matters), and tell Banxa in writing that you are disputing and require it to preserve the order records and KYC evidence for your bank's investigation, Banxa states it is willing to share information with financial institutions and authorities.
They’ll say: “First-order 'instant' purchases held for review after payment, disclosed only post-checkout per reviewer reports.”
You say: If your order is held, ask in the same message for either immediate fulfilment at the quoted price or cancellation with a full refund, Banxa's pricing FAQ already offers that exact choice when it cannot honour a quoted price, so ask it to apply the same option to your delayed order.

Your rights when cancelling

The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.

European Union

Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU
14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Banxa must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.

Worldwide

Card-issuer chargeback
Your bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Banxa has ~45 days to defend.

Rights in other regions (United Kingdom)

United Kingdom

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
14-day cooling-off on new subscriptions.
You can terminate any continuous service contract within 14 days of starting it and recover any payment, no questions asked. Applies regardless of Banxa’s own policy.
Consumer Rights Act 2015
Services must be as described.
If Banxa’s service was misrepresented or didn’t deliver what was promised, you have a statutory right to remedy (repair, refund, or price reduction) regardless of their terms.

Delete your Banxa account (not just cancel)

Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

If there’s no delete option in Banxa’s account settings, email support@banxa.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under GDPR Article 17, the right to erasure. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.

Common questions about cancelling Banxa

Only while it is still pending. Banxa's help centre says finalised transaction orders cannot be cancelled, and that payment validation typically completes **within about 20 minutes** of you submitting the order, after that the transaction is treated as final. So if you have just realised the amount, wallet address or coin is wrong, raise a ticket at support.banxa.com (or email support@banxa.com) in the same minute, with the Banxa Order Reference in the subject line. If validation has already gone through and coins were sent, cancellation is off the table and your route becomes a refund claim or a bank dispute.
