Can I cancel an international money transfer?
- English
- Español
You may be able to cancel an international money transfer, but it depends on the circumstances. If you would like to cancel a transfer, review your contract and receipt, and contact the company immediately.
If you sent money internationally, you have the right to cancel the transfer at no cost if it meets certain conditions:
- You used a remittance transfer provider to send a remittance transfer, as defined under federal law.
- The money hasn’t been picked up by the recipient or deposited in their account.
- You paid for the transfer less than 30 minutes ago; and
- You gave enough information for your provider to find the particular transfer to be canceled.
If you scheduled the transfer in advance, you may cancel the transfer up to three business days before it is made.
In some cases, state law or the transfer provider’s own rules may give you more time to cancel a transaction.
If you received a receipt for your transfer, it should generally state what your cancellation period is.
