How can I get a refund of my payment?

We can offer refunds on a case-by-case basis, depending on the type of payment, the status of your account and other factors.

Deposits

Depending on the funding method, a refund may be executed to:

  • your credit/debit card: a chargeback. You have the right to request the reversal of a payment from your bank in the case of unauthorized transactions or non-delivered goods/services, thus initiating our chargeback process. This includes both wallet deposits and gateway payments. For more information, please read section 8.3 of our Terms & Conditions.
  • your bank account: a reversal. Such a deposit may be automatically returned if you didn’t include your customer ID as reference, if you made a cash deposit or if you used another person’s bank account. In such cases, the original amount will be returned to the bank account it was sent from. 

Card refunds usually take up to 7 days to be processed. The timeframe for reversing a bank account deposit depends on the processing bank.

Withdrawals

If your card/bank withdrawal is returned by the recipient bank, we’ll automatically credit the amount back to your wallet. The timeframe depends on all involved parties, including the processing banks. 
We don’t charge any additional fees for processing a returned withdrawal. However, the amount you receive back may be less than the requested one due to currency conversion and/or processing fees applied by the bank(s).

Withdrawals to crypto wallets are non-refundable.
