An OnDemand transfer is a great way to send money to a Bank Account quickly. With an OnDemand Transfer, you decide how much to send and when.
The most important part of a successful OnDemand transfer is ensuring that the receiving bank account information is correct. When adding a receiving bank for an OnDemand transfer, always:
- Remove all special characters (# - / ) from the address field.
- Check to ensure you include a postal code, payment reference, and a receiver phone number as part of the bank details.
Once a bank account is added, it will show under unavailable accounts until approved (typically within 24 hours). Then, it will move to the available accounts section.
If there is a transaction you do not recognize or cannot resolve with a merchant, please log in to your account and submit a support ticket, providing the details of your dispute, including the date, transaction description, and amount for the dispute process to be handled properly. If our investigation finds an error, your account will be refunded accordingly.
