You may be entitled to a refund in certain circumstances, and you may cancel a valid transfer at any time while it is pending. If you provide incorrect information with your payment instruction to us, we will use reasonable efforts to recover the funds for you, but this is not guaranteed, and we may need to charge you a fee for that.
4.8 You must notify us by sending an email to [email protected] of any unauthorised or incorrectly initiated or executed payment transactions as soon as you become aware of them no later than 13 months after the debit date in order to be entitled to have the error corrected.

5.1.2 You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, visit, or otherwise exploit our website or material on our website for a commercial purpose, without our express written consent.
(6) Payment
6.1 Our Service allows you (the ‘Sender’ a private or legal person who is meant to send the funds as per the transfer) to send money from any of the countries in which we operate (the ‘Supported Countries’) to any person or business in the same or another Supported Country (the ‘Recipient’).
6.1.1 Please be aware that we are always expanding the list of Supported Countries. For the most up
to date list of the Supported Countries, please visit [http://support.transfergo.com/hc/en- gb/articles/205576889-Supported-Countries].
6.1.2 TransferGo reserves the right to cease providing the Services in any of the Supported Countries at any time and without any notice to You.
6.2 To request a money transfer to a Recipient, you will need to provide payment instructions through the Service. This will include but is not limited to the Recipient’s full name, address, account number and Bank Identifier Code (‘SWIFT’ or ‘BIC’), ‘Reference’ (if applicable) and the amount you wish to send (the ‘Transaction Amount’).
6.3 It is solely your responsibility to make sure all the transaction details are accurate before submission.
6.4 Providing inaccurate details, can cause delays in processing your transaction or can lead to your transaction being canceled. Once a transaction has been submitted for processing, TransferGo may, at their sole discretion, attempt to cancel a transfer at your request, but cannot guarantee success in such efforts if a transfer has been duly authorised and submitted (please refer to ‘Cancellation and Refund’ section).
6.5 Before you confirm a transaction, we will provide you with the foreign exchange conversion rate that will be applied to your transaction and the fee we will charge for the transaction (the ‘Transaction Fee’).
6.6 We will also provide you with the estimated amount the Recipient will receive (the ‘Payout Amount’) after currency conversion and deduction of the Transaction Fee.
6.7 The actual amount that the Recipient receives may differ from the Payout Amount due to additional fees applied by banks or other service providers. Please see the section ‘Other fees, charges and interest’.
6.8 Once you confirm that you would like to initiate a transaction, we will generate a unique transaction identification number and provide you with funding instructions, including our bank account details or request you to provide your card details (if that is the payment method you have chosen), so that you can deposit the Transaction Amount and pay us the required Transaction Fee.
6.9 The funds will be paid onto the Recipient bank account in the Receiving Country stated in the online form. Once your Transfer has been accepted and the Transaction Amount and Transaction Fee has been received by TransferGo we will aim to credit the Transaction Amount onto the Recipient bank account in the currency requested in the online form within the chosen Delivery Time.
6.9.1 We will not contact the Recipient when funds become available on his account.
6.9.2 We will attempt to process transactions promptly, but any transaction may be delayed or canceled for a number of reasons including but not limited to: our efforts to verify your identity; to validate your transaction instructions; to contact you; or otherwise to comply with applicable law; or due to variations in business hours and currency availability; due to additional Compliance requirements or/and operating procedures and business guidelines our partners have in place.
6.9.3 Delivery times quoted on our website and in these Terms and Conditions are representative for the ‘normal’ / average service and are not a guarantee of an individual Service or transaction time.
6.9.4 ‘Business Day’, for the purpose of these Terms and Conditions, means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in the United Kingdom or in the Sender’s/Recipient’s jurisdiction when banks are open for business.
6.9.5 Banks have specified times for cut off for the receipt and dispatch of electronic payments. You acknowledge and agree that TransferGo cannot be held liable for any delay in onward payment attributable to the late arrival of funds or instruction of payment related to the cut off times of the designated bank.
6.9.6 If you notice that funds that do not belong to you have been credited to your Account, you must inform us immediately; if an amount is incorrectly credited to your Account, we may debit it without your separate consent. If you no longer have the funds in your Account to cover such a debit, you must repay us within three (3) Business Days of receiving our request. If you fail to cooperate and refund the funds, TransferGo will take legal and enforcement action.
6.10. We keep your money safe. We partner with financial institutions that hold the funds of customers separately to our own funds in accordance with applicable regulations. This is known as safeguarding. As your funds are safeguarded, if we were to become insolvent, once any costs related to any insolvency are paid out, you (and all our other customers) would be paid out from any accounts safeguarded by our financial institution partner before anyone else. This process would be handled by an insolvency practitioner, not by us. For further information on how we look after your money, please visit https://support.transfergo.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360059777492-How-do-you-keep-my-money-safe-
(7) Your payment details
7.1 We will ask you to provide details of the payment instrument you wish to use, such as your credit card, debit card or bank account (your ‘Payment Instrument’) so that we can collect payment from you when you initiate a transaction.
7.2 Where relevant, you authorise us to debit your chosen Payment Instrument with the Transaction Amount and Transaction Fee. You represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner of these Payment Instrument(s) and that the details you supply to us are accurate.
7.3 If your payment fails or is insufficient, you authorise us to re-try one or more times to debit your selected Payment Instrument.
7.4 Both you and the Recipient will only act on your own behalf. You may not submit an Instruction or receive a Transaction on behalf of a third person.
7.5 TransferGo will have no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur by the use of a particular Payment Instrument to fund a Transaction. These may include but are not limited to unauthorised overdraft fees imposed by banks if there are insufficient funds in your bank account or ‘cash advance’ fees and additional interest which may be imposed by credit card providers if they treat use of the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction.
(8) Exchange rates
8.1 The applicable exchange rate. We will let you know the exchange rate; i) when you place your payment order, if it is a guaranteed rate payment order; or ii) when we have received your payment, if it is a non-guaranteed rate payment order.
8.2. When we refer to an exchange rate in these Terms & Conditions, it means the exchange rate at the relevant time for the relevant currency pair that is offered by us, which is typically provided by a reference rate provider. We may change our reference rate provider from time to time without notice to you.
8.3 Guaranteed rates. We will notify you of the guaranteed rate and the guaranteed time period when you create your transfer. Guaranteed periods are subject to the following conditions:
8.3.1 The guaranteed period may be extended if your transfer is created over the weekend or public holiday.
8.3.2 We must receive sufficient funds from you during the guaranteed period in order to convert your money at the guaranteed rate. You will see when we have received your money by logging into your TransferGo Account.
8.3.3 If we receive your funds after the guaranteed period, we will not be able to convert your money using the guaranteed rate and your transfer will become a non-guaranteed rate transfer. Accordingly, we may convert your money at the applicable exchange rate at the time we receive your money, or we will email you and ask you if you want to proceed with your transfer at the new exchange rate.
8.3.4 If the relevant exchange rate (as provided by our reference exchange rate provider) changes by 5% or more during the guaranteed period, we can, at our option, suspend your transfer for a reasonable period of time or cancel your transfer and refund the money to you.
8.3.5 We may change these guaranteed rate conditions or suspend the guaranteed rate feature at any time.
8.4 The total amount (the Transaction Amount, Service Fee and other applicable fees and charges) that you will be required to pay, and the relevant exchange rate, will be displayed clearly on the website before you are asked to confirm your transaction, and proceeding with the transaction at this point is entirely optional.
8.5 This exchange rate will apply even where there is a delay in processing your transaction. When you pay for a transaction in one currency and the Recipient is paid in another currency, there will be a difference between the exchange rate at which we buy foreign currency and the exchange rate provided to you.
8.6 We are not a currency trading provider, therefore you should not use our Services for any kind of trading. If we determine that you are using our Services for this purpose, you will be breaking these Terms and Conditions and we reserve the right to i) cancel the transaction and refund your payment; ii) suspend or close your TransferGo Account and seek disgorgement of your gains.
(9) Other fees, charges and interest
9.1 If you submit a transaction that results in TransferGo becoming liable for fees or charges, such as chargeback or other fees, you agree to reimburse us for all such fees.
9.2 If you selected a pay-in method which gives you chargeback rights (for example in relation to your credit card, you may ask your card provider to reverse a transaction on your card), you promise that you will only exercise this chargeback right if i) we have breached these Terms & Conditions; or ii) there was an unauthorised use of your payment instrument.
9.3 You promise that you will not exercise your chargeback right for reasons which we are not responsible, including a dispute with your recipient or if there are insufficient funds in your payment instrument. If we need to investigate or take any actions in connection with a chargeback raised by you, we may charge you for our costs in doing so and may deduct such an amount from your TransferGo Account.
9.4 In order for us to collect payment from you, you authorise us, in accordance with any requirements under applicable law, to access, charge, or debit funds from, any of your Payment Instruments.
9.4.1 For example, if there are insufficient funds in your bank account at the time you submit your transaction, we may try to debit your bank account, in accordance with applicable law and rules, or charge your credit card at a later time.
9.5 TransferGo is not responsible for any charges applied by the Recipient’s bank resulting from the receipt of funds into the Recipient’s bank account.
9.5.1 You should contact the Recipient’s bank directly for details about any such charges that may be applicable to the transaction.
9.6 TransferGo will have no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur by the use of a particular Payment Instrument to fund a transaction. These may include but are not limited to unauthorised overdraft fees imposed by banks if there are insufficient funds in your bank account or ‘cash advance’ fees and additional interest which may be imposed by credit card providers if they treat use of the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction.
9.7 You will not be entitled to any interest for the period during which the funds to be remitted are with the bank, or pending remittance or are in the course of remittance, or for any other period. TransferGo may, at any time and at our sole discretion, limit the amount to be transferred, either on a per transaction basis or on an aggregated basis.
9.8 On certain occasions intermediary bank fees may be applicable. In such cases TransferGo may refuse to cover the fees. TransferGo is not liable for covering fees imposed by the bank of the Recipient.
(10) Cancellation and Refund
10.1 You can cancel your agreement with us after you have submitted a transaction. This right of cancellation continues until fourteen (14) days after you have submitted the transaction, or until we have completed the contract by depositing the Transaction Amount (after conversion into the Recipient’s currency) into the Recipient’s bank account, whichever occurs earlier.
10.2 If you exercise your right to cancel under this clause, we may apply a cancellation fee. If you wish to cancel a transaction and/or request a refund, you can send us an email
to [email protected] or contact us using the contact information at the bottom of these Terms and Conditions.
10.3 We will consider your request for a refund (submitted by email, or by mail using the contact information at the bottom of these Terms and Conditions or by phone subject to satisfactory identification of the subject) if we are able to identify you as the sender.
10.4 For us to identify you, you must contact us from your registered email address, provide your full name, address, and phone number, together with the transaction identification number, Transaction Amount, and the reason for your refund request. Any refunds will be credited back to the same Payment Instrument used to fund the transaction and in the same currency unless we cannot identify Sender’s bank account.
10.5 If we cannot identify Sender’s bank account, we will contact the Sender asking to provide the same currency bank account details to refund the transfer.
10.6 For successful revocations TransferGo will normally refund your money, to the same Payment Instrument used to fund the Transaction and in the same currency, less any reasonable revocation, recall or tracing charges and any Service Fees already charged. No adjustment will be made for any currency fluctuations which may have occurred in the meanwhile. If we do provide you a refund, we will only refund the Transaction Amount if the transaction was not paid out to the Recipient (in which case we will also cancel your pending transaction).
10.7 In circumstances when the payment has already been credited to the Recipient’s bank account, and a Sender requires a recall of the funds, they may do so. However, TransferGo cannot guarantee cancellation will be successful.
10.8 In those circumstances we would make reasonable efforts to recover the funds. We may charge you a reasonable fee, reflective of our efforts, to do so. However, there is no guarantee that the cancellation will be successful.
You may recover the full amount of executed transfers initiated by or through the Receiver, if: i) a precise amount was not specified when the transfer was authorised, and ii) the transfer amount exceeds the amount which could have been reasonably expected of you. We will ask you to give us information about these conditions. You can request such a refund within 8 weeks of the debit date and we will repay the full amount within 10 working days of receiving your refund request, or explain why we will not be refunding you and also specify the procedure for appealing against our refusal.
