On Priority payments, we can try to recall funds that have been sent to an incorrect account, however, this option is not available for local payments. Please note, we cannot amend beneficiary details retrospectively once a payment has been released.

Recalls are not always successful as it relies on the co-operation and approval of the receiving bank and the beneficiary. We can only place one recall on a payment and this cannot be cancelled. Once the recall is placed, our banking partner will chase for a response after seven working days. No further chaser will be made until a response is received.

The best way to get funds returned is for the beneficiary to contact the receiving bank directly, inform them of the situation and request that they reject the payment.
