If you sent money to an erroneous account or entered incorrect data, you will have the opportunity to correct it. Many are interested in how to cancel a payment at Sberbank Online and is it possible to do this? There are three ways:
- Using the phone.
- At the bank branch.
- Through Sberbank Online.
All three options require a receipt of payment. With the help of the receipt there is a chance to return the funds.
For what reasons can a refund be made?
- At the time of filling in the details, they made a mistake.
- A transaction has been canceled for which payment has already been made.
- They threw money to scammers.
In case of incorrect writing of details, the money will hang on the bank's reserve account. This will be due to the fact that the payment made is sent to a non-existing account. Funds will be returned after 10 days.
If you make a mistake in the figure, the funds will be sent to someone else's account. Then you have to prove this mistake. Go to the nearest Sberbank branch, write the appropriate application. Sometimes, this may not help, in this case there is the opportunity to prove the truth through the court.
How to withdraw a payment Sberbank Online if transferred to the wrong place? The first way is to call tech support. Call 8 800 555 55 50. Explain the situation to the employee and ask that the payment be canceled. Transactions are carried out through verification, this helps to avoid fraud. If you made a call immediately after the operation, the funds will be returned to the account.
To verify the identity, the operator will ask answers to security questions. This cannot be predicted; you may be asked for your passport number, code word, day you were born, etc.
In case you made a mistake when entering the recipient data, you must immediately take the necessary measures. Only in this way is a money back guaranteed.
At the bank branch
The second way is to go to the bank branch. Write a statement in the name of the authorities where the request to block the erroneous transaction should be indicated. But it is worth noting that this option takes a lot of time - usually takes a month.
An employee of Sberbank will help fill out the application. If approved, you will receive the money back. But it happens that the return operation is rejected. Then it will be necessary to evaluate the approximate waste in the further proceedings through the court. Often they exceed the lost amount, in which case it makes no sense to sue.
Using the Sberbank application
Cancellation of payment by Sberbank Online via the mobile application is carried out in the following way:
- Log in with your username and password.
- Go into the transaction and check the status of the transaction you want to cancel. If it is "In Work", then the payment has not yet been made. This will allow you to withdraw the payment back.
- If the transfer has not been confirmed, click on it, then cancel by checking the "Confirm review" box.
- After a while, look at the archives section, where you will notice a payment operation. Nearby should be the inscription "Recalled."
How to cancel a payment to Sberbank Online if it is executed?
If the transfer operation was completed, go to the nearest branch of Sberbank or contact technical support. It is worth noting that funds sent after 21:00 are processed only in the morning after 9:00. You will have some time left to return the money. Payment is processed for a long time, basically takes at least 3 hours.
Payment will be canceled if the status says:
- Rejected by the bank.
- Interrupted.
- Application not accepted.
What to do if the funds have already been deposited to another person? In this case, try to contact the recipient directly, explain the situation and it is quite possible he will return the money. In case of refusal, go to the bank, in extreme cases, you can sue. The main thing is to have a receipt that will indicate an erroneous transfer.
If you accidentally sent to non-existing details, then you can not worry. The money will go to the bank’s reserve account. If they did not return within 10 days, contact the technical support specialists. The main thing - do not pull, otherwise the funds will automatically become the property of Sberbank, due to an unidentified payment.
How not to make a mistake?
Be extremely careful when filling out the recipient information. When you make any transaction, the system will require confirmation of payment and provide an opportunity to double-check the entered data.
Important! If you unexpectedly received SMS on the phone where you want to confirm the operation, while you did not perform any actions with payments, be sure to call the contact center of Sberbank. The specialist will block the operation and the card until everything is clarified.
Never voice passwords. No bank employee has the right to ask you about such information. If you lost one-time password combinations, notify specialists about it, they will block and issue new ones.
No one is immune from mistakes. According to popular wisdom, only one who does nothing is not mistaken. So with Sberbank customers it may happen that, by mistake, a payment was sent to the wrong recipient or in the wrong amount, etc. But far from all and not always can “close their eyes” to this unpleasant circumstance and live peacefully on. Amounts of payments are different and who wants to donate their money? Let it be only a hundred rubles, but you can buy a few loaves of bread or top up your phone bill. The question is, how to cancel a payment to Sberbank Online and return erroneously sent money?

Payment Cancellation Features
The reasons for returning the transfer can be very different - from a banal typo in the details to the transfer of funds to fraudsters. Most often, customers of Sberbank request a cancellation of payment in the following cases:
- the number was incorrectly indicated when replenishing a mobile phone account;
- it turned out that the payment was sent automatically to the wrong account (card), to the wrong person, etc .;
- after sending the transfer, it was found that the indicated amount was incorrect;
- the client became a victim of one of the fraudulent schemes and voluntarily transferred funds to the account indicated to him;
- during the transaction, a mistake was made by a bank employee;
- funds were debited from the account as a result of unlawful actions of third parties, etc.
Cancel payment when it has not yet passed
Can I cancel an erroneous payment at Sberbank? If the payment was made through Sberbank Online or a mobile application and an error was detected at the stage of its processing, then there is every chance of withdrawing the transfer, since all money transfers are processed not instantly, but several hours after the transaction is completed by the client. Moreover, a transaction completed late in the evening will only be processed the next morning, and Sberbank will undertake to execute it no earlier than 09:00. In the history of operations in the user's personal account, you can see the current status of the transaction. You can independently withdraw a transfer through the online customer service system only if the status is “Executed by the bank”. Not everything is lost even when the status “Processing pending” is indicated on the opposite of the erroneous operation. In this case, you need to wait until this status is changed to "Bank executing" and cancel the transfer.
Cancel payment if the transfer is completed
Many customers are interested in how to cancel an erroneous payment to Sberbank Online, if it is executed. In order to reject the translation on your own, you still need to try to make it happen, which is far from always the case. And, as a result, opposite to the operation of interest, the status is “Executed”. In this case, a refund is possible only if you personally contact the bank or call the hotline. In rare cases, you have to prove your case through litigation. In each specific situation there are its own nuances:
- If you fell for the scammers and, of your own free will, transferred a certain amount to them, but immediately realized that this was a pure deception, then, without hesitation, rush to the nearest branch of Sberbank and write a request for a refund indicating the reason, amount, date and time of payment. You have exactly one day from the moment of the operation to receive your funds back to the account. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to cancel the transaction. You will have to file a complaint with the police and prove in court that you are a victim of scammers.
- If you entered the wrong details when making a payment, then there is a possibility that the funds will not go anywhere, but will be debited from the account. In this case, you should not panic at all - after 10 banking days they will return to you. To make sure that the funds actually “hung in the air” and did not find a new owner, you need to contact Sberbank or contact the operator of the Sberbank Contact Center. If, by mistake, the funds were transferred to the account of a specific person, it is necessary to contact the Sberbank Customer Support Service and explain the purpose of your call to the operator, also providing all the necessary information about the operation. The trial will last at least 10 business days.
- If you paid something through the bank cash desk and the cashier made a mistake mechanically, then you are required to carefully check all the details in the issued check on the spot and inform the Sberbank employee if an error is detected. The money will be returned to your account or corrected, and the funds will go to the details you specified.
Attention! In the case of an erroneous operation through a payment terminal or ATM, a valid argument for the return of funds will be the check received upon payment.
If the payment was in the status “Completed” and you contacted the Contact Center for help, then the operator will not be able to cancel the operation, but will acquaint you with further actions on which the success of this business will depend.
How to cancel an operation using a mobile application
A mobile phone may also be useful for revoking a transaction. You can also cancel the payment made through the Sberbank Online mobile application. The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- You were just lucky and the money “hung” somewhere in Sberbank as an unidentified payment. Then you need to write a statement to cancel the operation and get your money back.
- When creating a payment, you mistakenly indicated the account of a completely different person who received a pleasant and unexpected bonus in the form of your mistakenly transferred money. In such circumstances, you must personally contact the random recipient and humanly ask him to return the money to you. In case of refusal, you can go to court if it is justified from a financial point of view, or leave everything as it is and live on. After all, no one forced you to transfer money to an unknown recipient, and no one is obligated to pay for your mistakes.
Everyone can make a mistake, but it’s far from always possible to correct a mistake. So with erroneous transfers in Sberbank. Sometimes, under certain circumstances, funds can be returned, but in some situations - no.
There are situations when funds are transferred from a card or Sberbank account erroneously. In this case, the money becomes the property of the recipient, and in order to return it back, it takes a lot of effort. Let's consider how to return the money transferred through Sberbank.
Returns in case of erroneous transfer
The money transfer procedure implies that the client voluntarily transferred the money to the addressee. A payment may be returned back if, for a number of reasons, it is found to be erroneous:
- an unintentional typo in the beneficiary’s details indicated by both the account holder and Sberbank employee;
- erroneous write-off of money during auto payments, software malfunctions;
- debiting by third parties by fraudulent activities.
In the above situations, we can hope for an urgent return. But there are a number of operations in which funds are not returned:
- the money was transferred as a deposit, but the transaction did not take place;
- the client became a member of a fraudulent scheme and voluntarily transferred funds;
- payment of credit, and when working with credit cards.
Practice shows that the main help in returning is the tenacity and perseverance of the client. The faster the error is detected, the easier it is to return the money. If the payment is made online and has the status “In processing”, then it can be canceled. As soon as the word "Completed" appears, the funds will be sent to the recipient.
Refund: Algorithm
Let’s present a list of steps that allow you to return money mistakenly sent to bank accounts:
- if an error is found, you must contact Sberbank and submit a refund statement indicating the reasons (if any). A check is attached to the application. If the payment was made in SB Online, then the check can be printed from the transaction history:
- after receiving the application, it can be considered 10 working days. During this period, the bank finds the person to whom the funds were sent and asks him to voluntarily return the transfer. The client may refuse, as he has every right to do so. In this case, you must go to the next step;
- of course, the bank will not disclose information about the client, as this falls under the Law on Bank Secrecy. If you refuse, you will need to contact the police with a statement. The procedure is quite long, but in most cases the money can be returned.
If the funds have been sent to your mobile phone account, then making a refund is easier. To do this, you need to contact the office of the mobile operator with a statement and a receipt for payment. Funds will be returned within the statutory deadlines of 10 days.
Note that often such statements are sent to the “far box”, as they are considered futile. It is necessary to contact specialists again if no information has been received on the return. Perhaps the application was simply not considered, and it will need to be submitted again.
Return through Sberbank Online
Sberbank Online is an Internet banking system. In case of an erroneous payment, the procedure is as follows:
- log in to the system;
- check the status of the operation and if it is marked "In operation", then you just need to cancel the payment. Funds will be returned instantly;
- if the payment is gone, but there is no confirmation, then you need to go into the payment settings and cancel the operation, and then click "Confirm review".
After the transaction, you need to go to previous transactions and determine the status of the payment. The status should change to "Withdrawn"
If the payment has already been made, then you need to immediately call the bank hotline - 900 and provide details of the situation. Perhaps the specialist will meet and simply cancel the payment. This is possible if the funds are still in the beneficiary's account.
Caution, scammers!
In view of the proliferation of Internet payments, an increase in criminal activity can be noted. In this case, it is almost impossible to return the money, because the account holder voluntarily made the payment.
It is more careful to perform operations in the following situations:
- on sites that do not have the status of "Reliable":
- if third parties request information about the PIN code, Security Code and login, password of SB Online;
- if a warning about the potential danger of viruses appears on the site when making a payment, etc .: in this case, you need to close the page and no longer visit this site.
Thus, a payment can be canceled if it does not have the status “Completed”. In other cases, the operation is considered voluntary, as it is carried out by the account holder himself. With this option, a refund is possible only with the consent of the recipient. Otherwise, you can try to resolve the dispute in court.
Friday 05 April 2019Each of us makes mistakes. The exception is those who do nothing. But what can such an oversight lead to? To slight chagrin, discontent of the bosses or loss of money? The latter is not at all pleasing.
When making money transfers and remotely paying for services, we may well be mistaken and send the money “to the wrong address,” in general, we risk paying twice. But this, fortunately, is not a reason for sadness, because in most cases money can be returned. In this article, we will tell you how to return an erroneous payment to Sberbank and how to return money to a Sberbank card if you made a mistake by transferring by sending money to the wrong place. In other banks, the money back algorithm will be similar.
When will the bank be able to return the payment back?
The bank may not recognize any payment as erroneous. If you consciously made a deal, and then simply changed your mind, this will no longer be a mistake. And, therefore, the chances of returning money are rapidly falling. There are many reasons for returning, but only some of them are considered reasonable:
- inadvertent indication of incorrect details of the recipient;
- re-operation on an already completed transaction (bank error);
- illegally debited funds (the card was compromised).
But if you declare the following reasons to the bank for a refund, then they will refuse you:
- transfer to the card as a deposit on a subsequently failed transaction;
- fraudulent schemes as a result of which you personally managed to transfer part of the money or the entire amount to the card.
Accordingly, there are several ways to return an erroneous payment, and not always with the help of Sberbank itself. In any case, try to keep a receipt of the payment made always - no matter where you made the payment or transfer: at an ATM (terminal) or remotely, for example, using the SMS banking service Mobile Bank (via SMS commands) or on the Internet Bank (hereinafter referred to as Sat). The receipt in the form of a paper check or in electronic form (in SatOl) can become an assistant in the “identification” of the operation (transaction) performed and accelerate the refund process.
If you made a mistake when adding funds to your phone?
When paying for mobile communications from a Sberbank card at an ATM, through a Mobile Bank or Internet Bank, people are often mistaken. As a rule, a person dials the required phone number to replenish his account, a certain amount, and the money goes "on the go" without unnecessary formalities. An SMS message from the mobile operator to replenish the account should arrive in a few minutes, and if this did not happen within one to two hours, then most likely you sent the money to another number (you can clarify the fact of replenishing the account in your account on the mobile website operator or balance request).
Here the bank will not help you, because the transfer has already been made, but the mobile operator will help quite - under certain restrictions. For example, if the one who received the erroneous payment fussed and cashed out money (they can be withdrawn to an electronic wallet or to a card account), then it will not be possible to return them (since there is nothing to return). Therefore, you need to act promptly!
All well-known operators have return procedures, and everything is written in steps. For example, in Beeline with an erroneous payment of up to 500 rubles, and if the error in the number was 1-2 digits, the return procedure may be limited to verbal communication with a specialist on the official website (via chat) or a call to the call center.
With larger amounts and more erroneous numbers in the number (you must try hard to make 3 or more mistakes in a 10-digit number!), You need to contact the company office with a passport and a receipt for payment (this is where the receipt will come in handy).
Another option is to download the finished application form for a refund to the correct number and send it along with the check to the operator’s email. If you replenished the account from the card, then the refund will be carried out on it. The estimated refund period is 45 days.
The pages of other mobile operators with a description of the actions to return funds in case of erroneous payment for mobile communications can be easily found in any search engine.
Incorrect details when paying jur. to the person at the cash desk of the bank
Banks today provide a lot of payment options to legal entities (utility bills, Internet, etc.) or to government agencies (taxes, fines, etc.) remotely or through terminals. Here, the probability of error tends to zero - as a rule, the client already has a form with completely filled in details, moreover, the terminals are able to read the bar code and "fill in" the details themselves. But there are frequent cases when all the details of a bank in which a legal entity account is opened, a person is forced to fill out on his own, wait for his turn and transfer the completed paper, along with the money, to an operating cash register employee.
You may be mistaken already when filling in the details - therefore, before giving the form for payment, check the correctness of its completion. But the cashier may also be mistaken (all people get tired). Therefore, after making the payment, go over your eyes again on the payment order, so that in case of an error, do not waste your time and immediately begin to act.
If an error occurred? To begin with, you should know that if the sending bank itself found an error in the transfer process, which was erroneously sent to non-existent details, then the money will remain in the reserve (interim) account of Sberbank. They can be obtained at the structural unit of the bank. You will need to write an application of a certain form or fill out an already completed form. Payment must be attached to the claim.
The same must be done if the payment went to the receiving bank, but “did not find” its addressee. Money will be returned to Sberbank in 5 business days. You can also contact the receiving bank and provide, if possible, the correct details so that the payment goes through.
If the payment was received by the legal entity, then it is possible to solve the issue of return only with it, and, according to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, it is not right to prevent the return.
Online refunds (via Internet banking)
In online mode (in the Sbol Internet Banking), bank customers are given the opportunity to fully manage their accounts. The probability of making mistakes here is very small, since the transfer at the execution stage will be checked for the correctness of the details provided, and the bank also knows the details of many legal entities to which payments are most often received.
You can cancel any payment here before you click on the “execute” button and confirm it with an SMS message. But what if the payment goes through?
In some cases, you can withdraw a payment whose status at the time of withdrawal is “Executed by the Bank”. You can see the status under the name of the payment, and see the payments themselves in the transaction history of Sberbank Online. To do this, click on the operation and click the “Cancel” button. In this case, the document will not be submitted for processing to the bank.
You can only withdraw payments that do not occur instantly, for example, there is no way to cancel a transfer from card to card, as money is transferred almost instantly. It's about common ones. Typically, transfers are sent to a special consolidated account with the sending bank, from which they depart with their “flight” to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. A flight is a certain period of time (window), which is set by the Bank of Russia. After that, the transfers are processed, sent to the beneficiary bank and he credits the funds to the necessary accounts (all details in the link above).
If the payment is made on the weekend, then the probability of its withdrawal is high, because The Bank of Russia does not work on weekends.
Another option for a refund is by call. The call-center operator must be informed of all the necessary details of the completed operation, including its date and time.
It is possible that the operator to cancel the payment will need to clarify information known only to you: passport details, date of birth or code word. Note that Sberbank employees will never ask for any PIN codes or other passwords for accessing your card. If this happened, it means that you called the wrong way and communicate with the swindlers, and not the employees of the institution. This, by the way, is the most common trick of scammers, when coming up with various reasons, they seek to find out your card details or passwords, while introducing themselves as bank employees.
Erroneous transfer from card to card. How to return the money?
Before transferring from card to card of Sberbank, you can see the full name of the holder of the card-recipient in the Internet bank. If a surname unfamiliar to you is displayed, that is, an occasion to check the correctness of the card number to which you want to transfer. Hence the conclusion - find out the name of the owner of the Sberbank card, where you will transfer funds.
When transferring to a card of another bank, there will be no such insurance - be careful. If you made a mistake at least by one digit, then the money will not reach the addressee, but it will reach someone else. Such a “gift of fate” will already legally belong to the stranger, and you have no right to demand their return.
What should be done in this case? Contact the bank with a statement about the erroneous transfer of funds from card to card, attaching to the application all documents that confirm the fact of the transfer: payment from the Internet bank (you can print it) or a check from an ATM.
The bank will contact the client to whom you transferred the money by mistake with a request to return it. With the consent of the client, the money will be returned from his account to yours. In case of his refusal, the return procedure can be initiated only through the police, and, possibly, through the court. You do not even know the contact details of the client for a peaceful settlement of the return - the bank does not have the right to disclose this information in accordance with. This can only be done by the police after a request to the bank.
If the recipient is not a client of the bank, then the sending bank will not be able to do anything. Contact the receiving bank or put up with the loss. If the amount is large, then a direct road to the police.
Here is another nuance. If you contacted a scammer and transferred the money to his card yourself, then the bank will not help you in anything - it was your will. But if the money was stolen from the card account, then they can be returned by submitting a statement within the day following the day when you notified the bank in writing about the erroneous write-off (details). An erroneous payment may include double deduction. See how to get your money back in this case.
It is quite simple to make a mistake when transferring money from a card - it is enough to mix up just one digit and the funds will be sent for other purposes. No one is safe from such a situation, and perhaps it has already happened to someone. So is it possible to cancel an erroneous transaction and return the money back to the card? How to do it right? Will a commission be charged for such an operation and in what amount? - This article will give an answer to these and other questions.
Card-to-card transaction cancellation
If you made a mistake when indicating the details at the time of commission, for example, and sent the funds to the wrong place, do not despair! You can cancel the transfer of money from card to card. To do this, immediately call the customer support center of your bank.
Your chances of success (that is, a refund) increase if the entered card number does not exist in nature. Then, with a high probability, the system will automatically reject the transfer and send finances to your card within one to two days.
But how to return an erroneous transfer when the transaction was successfully completed and the funds arrived at the account of another user?
In this case, you can contact the person who received the erroneous enumeration and explain the current situation. Usually, citizens willingly go to a meeting and return the money back to the sender also through transfer from card to card.
If a person went “in denial” and claims that he does not know what is at stake, you can influence him by threatening to appeal to law enforcement bodies and the court. This technique most often works, and the client receives his money back with interest on transfer.
So, you can refuse to transfer money to a card by following this instruction:
- Prepare information about your card (number, expiration date, CVC-code).
- Open the page with transaction data (if the transfer was made through your personal account on the bank’s official website or through a mobile application). You will need such information - the date and exact time of departure, the plastic number that you mistakenly indicated during the transfer.
Having at hand all of the above details, dial the number of the customer support service of your banking organization (the telephones of financial institutions can be found on their official websites, as well as at the bottom of the back of your plastic card).
Explain to the bank specialist the current situation indicating all the details of the transaction (to whom, where, where and how much the transfer was sent).
If you did everything promptly and your transfer was still being processed, the bank employee will cancel the transaction or suspend it, after which it will ask you personally to come to the nearest bank branch to write the corresponding explanatory statement.
Commission
As you know, most financial transactions occur with the deduction of a certain amount of the commission fee for banking services. Money transfer made by negligence is no exception. For example, the commission in case of error will amount to 1.5% of the amount of departure. Thus, when canceling an incorrectly completed transaction, you will receive the transferred amount back, taking into account the service charge, since the return of the commission by banking institutions is not provided.
Refund time
A refund to a card in case of an erroneous transfer does not occur immediately. The time period for returning the wrong money transfer back to the sender's account will depend on how the transfer was made and how quickly they contacted the support service or the office of the financial company.
- If the transaction has already been completed, then you will have to go to the bank to write a refund application. In this case, you will receive the money back within 10 days.
- If you managed to cancel the operation before it was performed by the system, then finances will return to the card within 3 days.
- When the transfer process was stopped with the help of the technical support service of your bank, the amount will be returned to you in 3-5 days.
