Payment details are required when you start a Findmypast free trial so that you can enjoy seamless access to the site when your free trial ends.
At the end of your trial period, your Findmypast free trial will automatically turn into a full-price subscription and payment will be taken from your chosen payment method.
If you don’t want to continue with a paid subscription, you can easily opt-out by cancelling your free trial. During your free trial, you can also upgrade to a higher subscription to explore a greater range of records.
