    Why is my new credit card information automatically updated in my Skype account?

    If your new credit card information is already updated in your Skype account, it’s because your card provider notified us of a change to your payment method.

    Skype is enrolled in the Visa Account Updater ®, and MasterCard Automatic Billing Updater ® programs. These programs prevent the interruption of your auto-renewing subscriptions if your credit card is lost or expires.

    For more information, or to opt out, contact your card provider.
