How recoveries work
If you send a transfer to the wrong person or in the wrong amount, you can attempt to recover a transfer. However, there’s no guarantee of success as the process requires the recipient’s consent.
Transfers sent to accounts that don’t exist will be automatically returned to you after a processing period.
Recover transfers and payments
To attempt recovery, contact us with written documentation of the following:
A description of how the error occurred
Details of any contact with the recipient
Your account number and sort code
The recipient account’s account number and sort code
The account number and sort code of the intended recipient
Recipients have 20 days to respond to recovery requests. However, we can't guarantee that they'll consent to the return of your money.
