How to cancel your subscription

If you noticed a charge for CBI*WINZIP on your credit card, it was probably for a subscription extension. WinZip provides a confirmation email with all the details of your purchase for every transaction. You can check a spam mailbox if you haven’t received such an email.

The WinZip subscription renews itself regularly once a year to guarantee you further access to the application.

You can cancel your membership at any time if you decide you no longer want to use or have access to the program. Once you follow the steps below, any automatic continuing subscriptions or charges will stop:

1. Open your confirmation order email, and press the “Cancel your subscription” button or follow the similar link to start the foreclosure process.
2. If you can't find your order confirmation email, deactivate your membership by turning to Cleverbridge, the company’s payment partner.

Try to report that to your bank

If you are sure you never purchased the WinZip tool, it’s better to turn to your credit card issuer. Maybe fraudsters have stolen your financial information.

Email or call your bank to dispute the charge for CBI*WINZIP. The bank will then get in touch with that business and look into the situation.
