Returns and recalls

If you initiated a SEPA Credit Transfer and need to recall the funds, submit a written request to Swan Support in the Web Banking app.

  • You request a recall: sent to the beneficiary’s bank, which verifies and credits funds back to your account.
  • Someone requests a recall from you: you’ll be asked for approval, and the funds are debited back from your account.
  • Transfer return: this happens if the account doesn’t exist or is closed; funds are credited back within 3 business days.
