How to request a refund

For all 3 currencies, you can request a refund if there was a technical error with the payment, for example:

  • you were charged double

  • you never set up a payment with this merchant

  • you were charged after you had cancelled the Direct Debit

Always give us as much relevant information as you can, so we can process your dispute quickly and fairly.

Read on for more detailed instructions per currency.


CAD

As well as technical errors, you can request a refund if you didn’t authorise the payment.

  • Upload it securely to your account.
