How to Add or Update Payment Details
Go to your Billing Page on the Dashboard
Click Add New Card and enter your details
Scroll to Subscriptions
Click the Edit icon next to the subscription you want to update
Select your preferred card and save
☝ Important: At least 1 card must remain on file while a Trading Combine is active. Removing all cards will close your account. Once you set a default card, new purchases will automatically be tied to that card. To update an existing subscription’s payment method, you must change your default card and update the individual subscription.
Payment Troubleshooting
Use a card in your name — must match your Topstep profile exactly. Using someone else’s card violates the Terms of Use.
Check your billing address — must match your bank’s records exactly, including formatting.
Delete and re-enter payment details manually — avoid autofill.
Wait at least 1 hour between retry attempts — rapid retries can trigger bank blocks.
Contact your bank — ask the Fraud department to check for holds, confirm online/international transactions are enabled, and allowlist Topstep.
Browser checks — clear cache and cookies, try a private/incognito window, disable VPNs and ad blockers, or try a different browser/device.

Chargebacks at Topstep
Have a question about a charge? Call us first. Always.
Most fees at Topstep are non-refundable, but we’re always happy to review your account and clear up confusion. Filing a chargeback before reaching out could limit your options and put your account at risk.
What’s the Difference Between a Chargeback and an Unjustified Chargeback?
What’s the Difference Between a Chargeback and an Unjustified Chargeback?
A chargeback is when you dispute a charge with your bank and request a reversal.
An unjustified chargeback is filing a dispute without a valid reason — for example:
Forgetting to cancel a subscription
Misunderstanding a charge
Overlooking Topstep’s refund policies
Attempting to bypass the standard refund process
What Happens If You File a Chargeback?
What Happens If You File a Chargeback?
Filing triggers an account review. Excessive or unjustified chargebacks may result in account suspension or permanent removal from the Topstep program.
Initiating chargebacks is listed as prohibited conduct.
Already filed one? You can still contact Trader Support to discuss your options.
