Want to cancel your Netflix subscription? Try it on SiHub, a cool hack all should know! | Mint

Have you ever faced a situation wherein you got your debit card linked to a portal for a monthly subscription to use a service such as Netflix or something else? And now you want to discontinue the service with immediate effect? There could be a number of reasons for this. Either you enrolled for it by mistake, or you changed your mind, or something else.

The process is quite simple when the subscription is done on Google Android. You can simply follow the following steps:

Go to Android >> click the initial of your name (e.g. R or V) on the upper right corner >> go to payments and subscriptions >> click subscriptions.

Here, you will find the list of the apps to which you have taken a subscription. You can now see click ‘unsubscribe’ written against the respective app that you wish to unsubscribe.

However, when you took a subscription on a website, then the process is slightly different.

Although you can call up the customer care of your bank, or even go to the bank branch, or speak to your dedicated personal banker if any, but the most convenient and fast way to set the ball rolling is to do it online on SiHub platform.
