Transfer Not Received

What to do when a transfer hasn't arrived.

Check Expected Timing

First, verify the expected delivery time:

| Transfer Type | Typical Time |

|---------------|--------------|

| ClapPay to ClapPay | Instant |

| Standard bank transfer | 1-2 business days |

| Same-day bank transfer | Same day (before cutoff) |

| Instant bank transfer | Minutes |

| International | 1-5 business days |

For ClapPay-to-ClapPay

Should be instant. If not received:

  1. Check recipient details
  • Correct email/phone?
  • They have a ClapPay account?
  1. Ask recipient to check
  • Check notifications
  • Pull to refresh balance
  • Check transaction history
  1. Check your transaction
  • Go to your activity
  • Status should be "Completed"
  • If "Pending" - still processing

For Bank Transfers

Check Status

  1. Go to TransfersHistory
  2. Find the transfer
  3. Check status:
  • Processing - Still in transit
  • Completed - Should have arrived
  • Failed - See failure reason

If Status Is "Completed"

The money left ClapPay. Check:

  • Correct bank account?
  • Correct account number?
  • Bank processing delays
  • Bank holidays

Contact recipient's bank if not received within expected time.

If Status Is "Failed"

See the failure reason:

  • Incorrect account details

Funds should return to your ClapPay balance.

  • Intermediary banks
  • Time zones
