Direct Answer: Technically, you cannot cancel a PayNow transaction via OCBC once it is sent, as transfers are instant and irreversible. You must immediately contact the recipient or OCBC to request a refund. For future secure transactions, consider Panda Remit. We support seamless PayNow payments for global transfers and are a MAS-regulated institution, ensuring your funds are handled with bank-grade security.
Step-by-Step: How to Recover Funds Sent via OCBC PayNow
Because PayNow is designed for real-time settlement, the money leaves your account the moment you click confirm. If you have made an erroneous transfer, follow this 1-2-3 recovery guide immediately:
- Contact the Recipient Directly (Fastest Method): If you sent money to a mobile number or UEN by mistake, call or message the recipient immediately. Most accidental transfers are resolved by an honest return of funds.
- Lodge a Report with OCBC Bank: If the recipient is uncooperative or unknown, call the OCBC hotline immediately. You will need to provide the transaction reference number, date, and amount. OCBC will attempt to recall the funds on your behalf, though this depends on the recipient's consent.
- File a Police Report (If Scammed): If the transaction was a result of a scam, file a police report immediately and provide the report number to OCBC to freeze the transaction if possible.
