There are a few reasons why your transfer might have been cancelled.

  • We did not receive any payment for the transfer
  • We did not receive the required documents

  • Your recipient did not pick up the transfer (in the case of Cash pick-up)

Sometimes people might try and make multiple transfers, but end up paying for only one of them. Please always check your transfer history to see if the cancelled transfer might be a duplicate transfer.

If none of these reasons apply to your cancelled transfer, please get in contact with our Customer Support team who will check it for you.
