Cancelling a Transfer
Need to stop a transfer? Here's what you can do.
Can You Cancel?
It depends on the transfer status:
| Status | Can Cancel? |
|--------|-------------|
| Pending | ✅ Yes |
| Processing | ⚠️ Maybe |
| In Transit | ❌ No |
| Delivered | ❌ No |
How to Cancel
If your transfer is still pending:
- Go to Transactions
- Find the transfer
- Click Cancel Transfer
- Confirm cancellation
Your money will be refunded to your wallet immediately.
Transfers That Can't Be Cancelled
Once a transfer enters "Processing" or "In Transit," cancellation isn't guaranteed because:
- The bank may have already received it
- The transfer is in the banking network
- Funds may have arrived
What You Can Do
- Try to cancel anyway - We'll attempt to stop it
- Contact the recipient - Ask them to return the funds
- Contact support - We can try to recall the transfer
