How can I cancel a Skrill to Skrill transaction?

Copied to clipboard

Skrill to Skrill send money transfers are instant and once received, they are irreversible.

Sometimes, however, you could still cancel such a transaction if it's still pending, in case:

  • the e-mail or phone number of the recipient is invalid;
  • the recipient doesn’t have a Skrill account yet. In this case, they will receive an e-mail invitation to register within 14 days and get the money;
  • the recipient’s account is restricted, e.g. due to exceeded transaction limits, etc.

To cancel the transfer, simply select the pending transaction and click Cancel. This option is only available on web for now:

Transaction history page filtered to all accounts, the last 30 days, and “Send Money,” with options to download transactions as CSV or PDF. Two payments to an email address are listed: a pending EUR 1.50 transaction from October 19, 2020 at 2:38 PM, and a cancelled EUR 10.50 transaction from the same date at 11:07 AM. The selected pending transaction opens a details panel showing a total charge of EUR 1.50, including EUR 1.00 sent and a EUR 0.50 fee. The recipient has not claimed the payment, which can be cancelled and will return to the sender’s balance if unclaimed by November 2, 2020. The panel also shows the transaction ID and recipient email address.

Once the transaction is canceled, the funds will return to your available balance right away.  

I was scammed. How can I cancel my transaction?

If a transaction has already been processed, it cannot be canceled or returned/reversed. Contact the recipient to negotiate the case. As Send Money transactions are final and irreversible, make sure that you send funds to people you know and trust!
