Figma Team,

This is absolutely unacceptable. A payment was made from my credit card, without any authentication or prior notification. What’s even more shocking is that I never saved my card details on my account, yet the billing was processed automatically.

This is a serious breach of data protection and financial security. What if I didn’t have sufficient funds? What if I didn’t want to make the payment? You cannot just charge users without consent—this is outright unethical and borderline fraudulent. 

This is completely unacceptable, especially since my card is not supposed to be saved with you. How did this even happen?

I demand an immediate explanation and resolution. This level of negligence is beyond disappointing, and I expect a prompt response. 

I have already sent an email about this issue. I expect a prompt resolution to this matter.

Thank you for addressing this issue as soon as possible.

Figma Team,

I have the same issue, and I was extremely shocked and honestly scared to discover that Figma charged my card automatically without my permission and without any notification.

What frightens me even more is that my card is not saved anywhere in the Figma interface. I checked my account, and there is no card linked. How is this possible? Is Figma storing my card details without my knowledge?

How can I urgently remove the card that is being charged? The official instructions don’t help because the card does not appear to be connected to my account at all. I am very concerned about the security of my financial information.

Hi ​@Iryna Shapovalova , Celine from Figma here! I am working closely with djv and Junko 3, happy to help.

I understand how concerning that must feel. I can see that you’ve already reached out to our support team, thank you for doing that. I’ve also added a follow-up note to your case so it gets the right visibility.

While this may look unusual, our billing team will be able to confirm which workspace the charge is associated with, verify the payment method on file, and help remove or update it if needed. They’re best equipped to review this securely on their end and clarify exactly what happened.

Thanks for your patience while they investigate. They’ll follow up directly via your support ticket.

I am experiencing a similar issue. I have two separate Figma accounts under two different email addresses. The second account does not have any payment method connected, yet the payment was charged from my other card.

Additionally, last month Dev Mode was added to the subscription, and I was unable to disable it. This month, another $16.80 was charged.

I had previously contacted Figma Support regarding this issue. I requested to switch from a monthly plan to an annual plan. After that, the plan was changed to annual, but the $215.20 annual fee was automatically charged from a different card, even though no card was connected to that account.

Please review this situation and refund these charges. I will make the payment using the correct company card. The funds that were charged were taken from my personal card.

I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter as soon as possible.
