Can I recall money if I have sent it to the wrong mobile number?

No. Once you confirm the transfer and we have sent a confirmation SMS, funds cannot be reversed. In some cases, it may be possible to request a recall or reversal but in most cases, these requests are unsuccessful (as funds have already been cashed out).

To request a transaction reversal please immediately contact hello@rocketremit.com. Please include your name, mobile number, date and time of the transaction, the transaction reference number and the reason for the reversal.

A $25 admin fee applies to all reversal requests and applies even if the reversal is unsuccessful. The admin fee will be deducted from your Rocket Remit account so you will be required to have these funds in your account before the reversal request can be processed.

I transferred money from my bank to Rocket Remit, and it hasn’t shown up yet?

Unfortunately, no all transfers from your bank account to us are instant!  This is because of bank transfer delays within the Australian banking system. Normally funds are received the same business day but sometimes they can be delayed. This could happen for one of three reasons:

1. You have made the transfer after bank cut-off times (usually around 6 pm on a business day).
2. Public holidays may delay the processing of transactions by one day.
3. Rocket Remit may have received your money but is unable to determine which Rocket Remit account to deposit it into.

If after 2 business days funds have not appeared in your Rocket Remit account, please contact Rocket Remit support at hello@rocketremit.com.  Please include your full name, your mobile number, the date of the transfer, the amount of the transfer, the contents of the description or reference field, the BSB and account number of the bank account from which the money was transferred.

There are different limits on how much money you can send to recipients overseas.
