Why is my funds transfer being rejected?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

If your transfer is rejected by the recipient's bank, the transaction is canceled, and the amount is automatically returned to your account.

If you're attempting to make a money transfer and the transaction is rejected, consider the following possible reasons:

Insufficient funds

Ensure that the amount you're trying to transfer, including any fees, is available in your viva.com account.

Recipient's name mismatch

It's crucial that the name you've entered for the recipient matches exactly with the name on their bank account. Even minor discrepancies can lead to rejection.

Pending issues

Check your email or the viva.com app for any related notifications.

For example, if a message indicates that your account requires verification, even though the verification has been completed.

Technical or operational issues at the recipient's bank

Sometimes, the failure to complete the transaction may be due to technical or operational issues on the recipient bank's side. If the problem persists, you may contact the recipient's bank or try again using a different transfer method.

If you've followed all the above and the transfer still doesn't go through, don't hesitate to contact our support team for assistance.
