Troubleshooting
I sent money to the wrong account number
What to do if you accidentally sent a payout to an incorrect account
I sent money to the wrong account number
If you sent a payout to the wrong bank account number, act immediately:
-
Contact NextPay support — Email support@nextpay.world or use the in-app chat. Provide the payout reference number, the incorrect account details, and the correct details.
-
NextPay will coordinate with the receiving bank — We will submit a recall request to the receiving bank. However, success is not guaranteed and depends on whether:
- The receiving account exists and has sufficient funds
- The account holder agrees to return the funds
- The receiving bank's policies allow recalls
-
Timeline — Fund recalls typically take 7-30 banking days. In some cases, they may take longer or may not be possible.
Prevention tips:
- Always double-check account numbers before confirming a payout
- Use saved directory contacts with verified bank details instead of entering details manually
- Enable the approval workflow so a second person reviews payouts before they are processed
- For large payouts, consider sending a small test amount first
NextPay is not liable for payouts sent to incorrect account numbers provided by the user. Always verify recipient details carefully.
