Cancel Segpay: The Right Way
How to cancel segpay and stop recurring charges in new zealand
What segpay is and why you might want to cancel
Segpay is a global payment processor that handles recurring billing and one-off transactions on behalf of online merchants. The service sits between you and the merchant you've bought from-it doesn't deliver the goods or services themselves, but it processes the payments and manages the billing relationship.
You're likely here because you want to stop automatic charges from appearing on your bank statement. That's a smart move, and Stopee is here to walk you through every step so you can cancel without running into delays or hidden obstacles.
How segpay fits into your transaction
When you sign up for a subscription through a merchant that uses Segpay, your payment details are held by Segpay, not the merchant directly. This means cancellation requests go to Segpay first. If you have a complaint about the product or service quality itself, you'll need to contact the merchant-Segpay can only help with payment processing issues.
Why new zealand consumers cancel
Common reasons for cancellation include trial periods ending, forgotten subscriptions, or realising you no longer use the service. Stopee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers identify and cancel unwanted recurring charges, and the process is usually straightforward once you know the correct steps.
Your consumer rights in new zealand
Protection under the consumer guarantees act
New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act protects you when you buy goods or services, but it applies to the merchant, not the payment processor. If the product or service doesn't match what was promised, you have the right to a refund, repair, or replacement-but you must pursue this claim with the merchant, not Segpay.
Segpay's role is limited to processing payments. If a merchant breaches the Consumer Guarantees Act by supplying faulty goods or misrepresenting a service, Segpay cannot fix that-only the merchant can. However, if Segpay itself has processed an unauthorised or fraudulent charge, you can dispute it directly with your bank or card issuer.
Your right to cancel recurring billing
You have the absolute right to cancel any automatic recurring charge. Segpay's terms require that cancellation requests be processed within a set timeframe, though the exact timing depends on when you submit your request relative to the next billing cycle. New Zealand law supports your right to stop automatic charges, and Stopee recommends you cancel as soon as you decide you no longer want the service.
Pricing and plans
What segpay charges and how to find your rate
Segpay itself doesn't advertise consumer pricing in NZD (New Zealand dollars). Instead, the merchant using Segpay sets the price you pay. When you check out, you'll see the merchant's stated price, usually in your local currency. Stopee advises always checking your bank statement or email invoice to confirm what you're actually being charged-currency conversion can sometimes surprise you.
Segpay pricing table
| Service or plan | Price (NZD) | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Segpay transaction processing | Merchant-dependent | Segpay charges merchants; you pay the merchant's retail price |
| Example consumer subscriptions | Varies widely | Set by the merchant; appears in checkout at point of purchase |
| Trial periods or free offers | Varies | Often require cancellation 24 hours before trial ends to avoid charges |
How to cancel segpay in new zealand
Online cancellation via the segpay self-service portal
The quickest and most reliable way to cancel is through Segpay's own customer portal. This method avoids email delays and gives you instant confirmation. Here's how:
- Visit the Segpay customer service portal at cs.segpay.com (make sure you type the address correctly to avoid phishing sites).
- Open your web browser and type the URL into the address bar-don't click a link from an email unless you've verified it directly on Segpay's official site.
- Log in using the email address linked to your subscription.
- Use the exact email you provided when you first signed up. If you've changed email addresses, you may need to use the recovery option or contact Segpay support.
- You'll be asked for verification-typically the last four digits of the payment card on file.
- Have your bank statement or card handy to confirm these digits quickly.
- Locate your active subscription in the dashboard.
- You may see multiple subscriptions if you've signed up for more than one service. Check the renewal date and amount to confirm you're cancelling the right one.
- Click the cancel or discontinue option next to the subscription.
- Some portals ask for a reason before you confirm-this is optional feedback, not a barrier to cancellation.
- Confirm cancellation and save your confirmation reference number.
- Take a screenshot or note the confirmation number. You'll need it if Segpay charges you again by mistake.
Pro tip: Keep this confirmation email or screenshot for at least 60 days. If an unexpected charge appears, you'll have proof you cancelled.
Cancellation by email or phone
If the online portal doesn't work or you prefer personal contact, you can reach Segpay support by email. This method is slower but provides a paper trail. Request a cancellation confirmation in writing so you have evidence of your request.
Warning: Email cancellations can take 5-10 business days to process, and you risk a charge during that waiting period if you're close to your renewal date. Always include your account email, the last four digits of your card, and your subscription renewal date in any email request.
Cancellation timing and renewal dates
Most automatic recurring charges renew every month, but some renew weekly or annually. Segpay's policy requires you to cancel at least 7 days before the next scheduled renewal to avoid being charged again. If you're on a trial, you must cancel at least 24 hours before the trial period ends.
Pro tip: Check your bank statement or the original purchase confirmation email to find your exact renewal date. Set a calendar reminder for 8 days before that date if you're cutting it close.
Platform-specific cancellation notes
If you signed up through a mobile app or digital platform, you need to know where cancellation actually happens.
Google Play (Android devices): You cannot cancel a Segpay subscription through Google Play itself. You must use Segpay's web portal (cs.segpay.com) to cancel the subscription. Google Play only handles refunds for app purchases, not for recurring billing managed by external processors like Segpay.
Apple App Store (iOS devices): Similarly, Segpay subscriptions cannot be cancelled through the App Store. You'll cancel through the Segpay portal instead, not through Apple's subscription settings. This is because Segpay handles the billing relationship, not Apple.
Web or browser purchases: If you signed up directly on a merchant's website (not through an app), Segpay's portal is your cancellation destination.
What happens after you cancel
Service access and billing continuity
Cancellation stops future automatic charges, but your access to the service may continue until your current billing period expires. For example, if you're charged monthly on the 15th and you cancel on the 20th, you'll likely keep access until the next 15th, then lose it. Some services cut access immediately; others honour the paid period. Check your service's terms or contact the merchant to confirm.
You remain responsible for any charges that occur before your cancellation request is processed and confirmed. This is why timing matters, and why you should cancel well before your renewal date.
Your account and data after cancellation
Segpay retains your transactional records for legal and regulatory reasons-typically for at least 7 years. This doesn't mean your account stays active; it means payment history is kept on file. If you want to delete personal data beyond payment records, contact the merchant directly, as they hold service-specific information like account preferences or account history.
Refunds and chargebacks
Does segpay refund automatically?
No. Segpay does not provide automatic refunds when you cancel a subscription. Any refund is discretionary and depends on either the merchant's policy or Segpay's assessment of your claim. Refunds, if granted, are returned to your original payment method within 5-10 business days.
Warning: Segpay's standard terms do not include a 14-day cooling-off period for digital services or subscriptions. If you want a refund for a service you've already paid for, you'll need to ask the merchant first, then escalate to Segpay if the merchant refuses.
Trial periods and authorisation holds
If you signed up for a free trial and see a charge appear on your account, Segpay may have placed an "authorisation hold" on your card to verify it's valid. This hold is not a real charge-it's temporary and typically disappears in 7-10 business days without your intervention. However, if the trial-to-paid conversion happens and you're charged, you'll need to cancel immediately to avoid a second charge.
Segpay cannot remove these holds directly. Contact your bank or card issuer to track the hold's release date.
Unauthorised or fraudulent charges
If someone used your payment details without permission, or if Segpay processed a charge you explicitly did not authorise, you have the right to dispute the charge through your bank. This is called a chargeback, and it's separate from cancellation. Contact your card issuer immediately with proof that the charge was unauthorised.
Stopee recommends also notifying Segpay in writing of the dispute so they have a record of your claim. However, your bank or card issuer is your strongest advocate here-they can reverse the charge and investigate fraud.
Physical goods and refunds
If you purchased a tangible product (not a service or digital download) through a merchant using Segpay, refunds must be handled by the merchant, not Segpay. Segpay can only reverse the payment if the merchant authorises it. Contact the merchant's customer service first to request a return and refund.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Mistakes that cost you money
It's frustrating to cancel only to find you've been charged again. Stopee sees this pattern often, and the good news is that most mistakes are preventable.
Mistake 1: Cancelling too close to the renewal date. If you cancel 2 days before your monthly renewal, Segpay may not process the cancellation in time. The charge goes through, then cancellation follows. Always cancel at least 7 days early.
Mistake 2: Cancelling through the wrong platform. Cancelling through your app store or bank doesn't cancel your Segpay subscription. You must use the Segpay portal. This is the single most common reason people think they've cancelled but get charged again.
Mistake 3: Not saving your confirmation.. If you cancel but don't save your confirmation number or screenshot, you have no proof if Segpay charges you again. Support will ask for it, and you'll have no defense. Always keep your confirmation for at least 60 days.
Mistake 4: Assuming a refund will be automatic. Cancellation ≠ refund. If you were just charged before cancelling, you'll need to request a refund separately. Stopee advises submitting a refund request in writing within 7 days of the unwanted charge.

Consumer reviews and experiences
What new zealand customers report
Feedback on Segpay from New Zealand users often praises the speed of the online cancellation portal but highlights frustration when customers cancel through the app store by mistake and get charged again. Many report that customer support responds within 1-2 business days, but some say refund requests take longer if the merchant hasn't authorised the reversal.
Stopee's research shows that most cancellations succeed on the first try when done through the official portal at least 7 days before renewal. Problems arise when timing is tight or when customers confuse Segpay's portal with their app store's subscription settings.
If you're unsure whether to cancel
Questions to ask yourself
Before you cancel, make sure you actually want to. Ask: Have I used this service in the last month? Is it still solving a problem for me? Could I pause instead of cancel? If the answers are no, no, and you can't pause, cancellation is the right choice.
If you're cancelling because the service is poor or doesn't match what was advertised, consider contacting the merchant first to ask for a refund or credit. Sometimes a quick complaint leads to a partial refund without needing to cancel.
Alternatives to full cancellation
Some merchants offer pause or suspension options instead of cancellation. This lets you temporarily stop charges without losing your account. Check your account settings or contact the merchant to see if this is available. It's often easier than cancelling and restarting later.
Contacting segpay and escalation
How to reach segpay support
For cancellation queries or issues, use the Segpay self-service portal first. If you need to escalate, email support with your account email, subscription details, and the date you first tried to cancel. Include your confirmation number if you have it.
Pro tip: Keep your communication professional and factual. If Segpay has processed charges after you cancelled, provide specific dates and amounts. This speeds up investigation.
Escalation through consumer authorities
If Segpay refuses to honour your cancellation or process a legitimate refund, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or your local consumer protection authority. In New Zealand, the Commerce Commission handles complaints about unfair contract terms and misleading conduct by businesses. Stopee recommends gathering your proof (cancellation confirmation, emails, bank statements showing unwanted charges) before escalating.
Document everything in writing. Calls don't create a paper trail; emails do. This evidence is crucial if you need to escalate beyond Segpay to a regulator or dispute resolution service.
