My international transfer failed. Why did this happen and what should I do?

Updated yesterday

We understand it's frustrating when a transfer doesn't go through as planned. Here's what generally happens and what you can do:

Why transfers might fail

While there can be various specific reasons, common ones include:

  • Incorrect recipient details (e.g., misspelled name, wrong account number).

  • The recipient's account cannot accept the currency sent.

  • The recipient's bank rejected the transfer.

  • The transfer did not pass a compliance check by our payment processor or receiving bank.

What happens next

If a transfer fails, the funds will typically be returned to your ORO Bank account. Please note that in such cases, a return fee of $15 USD (or equivalent) will be deducted from the returned amount. This fee is often charged by intermediary or receiving banks involved in the return process.

What to do

  • Check your transfer details for any updates.

  • To find out the specific reason for the failure, please contact ORO Bank support through via in-app chat or email us at [email protected]. Please have your transfer reference number ready. Our team can investigate and provide you with more details.

  • Before re-attempting the transfer, please carefully verify all recipient details (name, account number, bank routing code) with your recipient.
