Understanding Your Refund Eligibility

You may be entitled to a refund depending on:

  • When you cancel (e.g. before your policy starts, within the 14-day cooling-off period, or after that).

  • The type of policy you have (monthly instalments vs annual payment).

  • Whether you've made a claim on your policy.

If you cancel:

  • Before your policy starts or within the 14-day cooling-off period, you will be charged a £30 admin fee.

  • After the cooling-off period, the cancellation fee ranges from £60 to £125, depending on:

    • When you purchased your policy

    • The policy plan you selected

    To find the exact fee that applies to your policy:

    1. Open the Marshmallow app.

    2. Go to the Documents section.

    3. Select your Policy Wording document.

If you’ve made a claim during your policy, no refund will be issued, and you must pay the full policy premium.


When Will I Receive My Refund?

Once your cancellation is processed:

  • Refunds are issued automatically if you're eligible.

  • Refunds typically appear in your account within 3–10 working days, depending on your bank.

Note: We can't speed up the refund once it’s been processed.
