NordVPN offers a genuine 30-day money-back guarantee — and you do not need a reason to claim it. Here is exactly how to cancel your subscription and get your money back.
30-day refund window
NordVPN's 30-day money-back guarantee applies to all plans. If you are within 30 days of your initial purchase or annual renewal, you are eligible for a full refund — no questions asked.
Step 1 — Cancel auto-renewal
01Go to my.nordaccount.com and log in
02Click Billing in the left menu
03Click Subscriptions
04Click Cancel Subscription next to your plan
05Confirm the cancellation
This stops future charges. You keep access until the end of your current subscription period.
Step 2 — Request a refund (within 30 days)
Cancelling auto-renewal does not automatically trigger a refund. You must request it separately:
01Go to nordvpn.com and open the live chat (bottom right corner)
02Tell the agent: "I would like a refund under the 30-day money-back guarantee"
03They will ask for your account email to verify
04Confirm and the refund is processed — no reason required
05Refund arrives in 5–10 business days to your original payment method
What if you are outside the 30-day window?
If more than 30 days have passed since you were last charged, you are not eligible for a refund — but you can still cancel to stop future charges.
NordVPN typically sells 1-year or 2-year plans at a discount. If you are mid-way through an annual plan, cancelling now stops the next renewal but does not refund the current year.

Does NordVPN cancel automatically or do I need to contact support?
You can cancel auto-renewal yourself at my.nordaccount.com. But to get a refund, you need to contact support via live chat — it is not automatic.
How long does a NordVPN refund take?
Typically 5–10 business days, depending on your payment method and bank.
Can I cancel NordVPN if I paid through Apple or Google?
If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, you must cancel and request refunds through Apple or Google — not NordVPN directly.
Does NordVPN keep charging after cancellation?
No. Once you cancel auto-renewal, NordVPN will not charge you again. If a charge appears after cancellation, contact support immediately with your cancellation confirmation.
