Refunds
We provide refunds for the Worldline Account-to-Account Payments service. However, it's important to note that refunds are not issued through Open Banking channels. Instead, we use our bank refund system, which processes refunds in batches. As a result, refunds are not immediate. Consumers should expect to receive their funds back after a few days.
Performance
Our product involves numerous components, and its delivery relies on each of these components functioning as intended. The timing of settlement notifications varies depending on the consumer's bank:
- In the SEPA region, if the consumer's bank participates in the SEPA instant network, fund confirmations can occur within minutes.
- In the UK, similar speed is achieved through the faster payments network.
- If the consumer's bank doesn't participate in these networks, the process could take several hours.
While we cannot guarantee that funds will always be delivered to the beneficiary bank, we do ensure that you'll be notified immediately once the funds reach the beneficiary account.
