Understanding PayMoji Transactions

PayMoji is designed for speed. Transactions move between accounts in seconds, which means once you confirm a transfer, it's final. This article explains how PayMoji transactions work, why they can't be reversed, and what to do if something doesn't go as expected.

Why Transactions Are Final

When you send money on PayMoji, the funds are transferred to the recipient's account in real-time. The moment you tap Confirm, the transfer is processed and the funds become available to the recipient.

Because PayMoji transactions are instant and settled immediately, they cannot be cancelled, reversed, or refunded by PayMoji once confirmed. The recipient has full control over any funds sent to them.

💡 This works the same way as most instant payment apps. Once funds are sent, only the recipient can choose to return them. This also protects you on the receiving end: nobody can pull back money you've already received.

How to Avoid Mistakes

Before tapping Confirm on any transaction, take a moment to double-check:

• The recipient's email (for PayMoji-to-PayMoji transfers) or account details (for bank and e-wallet transfers)
• The amount and currency you're sending
• The exchange rate and total amount the recipient will receive (for currency conversions)
• That you're sending to the right person, especially for new contacts

PayMoji shows you a quick summary of every transaction before you confirm, so use it as your final check.

I Sent to the Wrong Person. What Now?

⚠️ Sending to the wrong person cannot be undone. Like instant bank transfers and other real-time payment systems, once a PayMoji transaction is confirmed, it cannot be reversed by PayMoji or any third party.

If you accidentally sent money to the wrong recipient:

1. Contact the recipient directly and ask them to return the funds. They can send the money back as a new transaction.
2. If they don't respond or refuse, the funds cannot be recovered. Only the recipient has control over the funds in their wallet, and PayMoji is unable to pull them back on your behalf.

We recommend to always double-check the recipient's details before tapping Confirm.

My Balance Decreased but the Transaction Failed

This is different from a completed transaction. If your balance was deducted but the recipient didn't receive the funds, and the transaction is no longer showing as Processing, something may have gone wrong during processing.

In this case, you can submit a report to our team:

1. Go to Recent activity and locate the failed transaction.
2. Take screenshots of the transaction details.
3. Contact PayMoji support with the following:
   • Your registered email
   • The transaction date, amount, and currency
   • The recipient's details
   • Screenshots of the failed transaction

Our team will investigate and process a refund to your PayMoji balance where appropriate.

What About "Processing" Transactions?

Some transactions, such as adding funds via a payment partner or sending to a bank account, may show as Processing while they're being completed. During this stage:

• The funds may still be moving through one of our payment partners
• Processing times vary depending on the partner and destination
• Once complete, the transaction will move to Completed
