Do it yourself
Cancel Public Premium yourself
TLDR: Open chat in the app or email support@public.com and say you are cancelling Premium or Reserve. The membership ends at the end of the current month or year, you are not charged again, and the cancel section does not say you get the rest of the period back.
Cancel in chat or by email
You pay for Premium or Reserve.
- 01Open chat in the Public app or on the website. In Settings, Help Center is the chat.
- 02Or email support@public.com and say you are cancelling.
Closing the brokerage account also ends the membership. Chat is staffed 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday. The membership ends at the end of the term: 30 days for monthly, one year for annual. Then the fee stops unless you join again.
Mail a notice
You want it on paper.
- 01Write that you are cancelling Premium or Reserve, and include the email on the account.
- 02Mail it to Public, 228 Park Avenue South, Suite 97716, New York, NY 10003.
The contact page lists that as the mailing address.
How to know it worked
- You keep the membership until the current month or year ends.
- You are not charged again unless you sign up again.
Watch out for
- The Premium agreement lists $10 a month or $96 a year. A later FAQ says Premium moves to Public Reserve. Monthly members stay at $10 for 12 months, then $20. Annual members stay at $96 for one more renewal, then $200. The Reserve agreement lists $20 a month or $200 a year.
- The monthly Premium fee is waived when the combined brokerage and high-yield cash balance is at least $50,000. If it drops below that, the annual fee is charged at the next monthly cycle. The agreement says Annual Fee in that sentence.
- A price change needs at least 30 days' notice.
- Cancelling Reserve within 12 months of an IRA match changes unpaid match installments to the standard rate, and unpaid matches on some accounts are forfeited.
Public Premium refunds
- If Public ends the membership during a period and it is not your fault, they refund a prorated fee.
- The cancel section does not say you get the rest of a period back when you cancel.
