How can I transfer funds to a new recipient?

We made sending funds to family and friends easy.
Follow these steps:

  • Tap on ‘PAY’
  • Tap on “New Account”
  • Select the receiver type: Personal/Business
  • Enter the receiver’s account details (Sort code, account number)
  • Enter the amount, reference and select the sending reason
  • Enter the receiver Name & phone number (optional)
  • Review your payments details and pay

What recipient account details are required for adding a beneficiary?
To add a beneficiary, you need to add their bank account details (account number & sort code) and recipient’s full name.

I want to cancel my transfer to a bank account.

 You can request a payment to be cancelled if the transfer has not yet been completed. You can also request a recall after the transaction has been processed by sending us an email at [email protected] which includes your transactional details & reason for the recall. After investigation, the team will follow your request and guide you accordingly .

Most common cases for cancellation:

If the recipient account is closed, or incorrect details were used, the transfer should bounce back to your account within 5 working days for local transfers and usually within 3-5 working days for SWIFT. However, it can take more time in some cases.

Transfer sent multiple times by mistake: the easiest way to retrieve the funds is to ask the recipient to pay back the duplicated transfers.

Payment cancelled due to internal assessment of ACE: before cancellation you will be notified of the requirement(s) (If any). Once the payment is cancelled you will get funds back in your account within 2 working days.


How long will it take for the funds to be received by my beneficiary? (For UK only)
Faster Payment transfers are usually instant but may take up to two hours in some cases, if your bank supports this type of transfer, and the amount is less than £1,000,000. In any other case, it will be processed via CHAPS, which can take up to 1 working day.

I have cancelled a Card payment, but the refund is not yet visible in my statement.
Refunds usually take 5 working days but can take up to 15 business days in some scenarios as merchants can either complete the transaction and then refund the money separately or revert the initial transaction and release the money. If a refund hasn't appeared and the timeframe has passed, please contact the merchant prior to raising the dispute.

Why do I need to add a reference when setting up a new recipient account?
When setting up a new recipient account, or editing an existing one, you may be asked to enter a reference which is optional.

My Recipient information is shown as ‘Partial match’ or ‘No match’, what does this mean?

When you set up a new recipient account in the ACE app (or amend an existing one), you will see an extra check that determines whether the name is a “match”, “partial match” or “no match” with the registered name on the account held by the receiving bank.

If the details don't match, we'll let you know before you make the payment so you can decide whether you would like to still go ahead with the payment.

If you get a “no match”, we strongly recommend you check the details of the recipient.

If the name you have been given differs from the name the receiving bank has on the account, you could be making a payment to a fraudulent account.

It is always best to confirm the details with the recipient before you make the payment. You may be liable if the payment is fraudulent, and you received a “no match” response from the Confirmation of recipient check.

Please note: You will need to choose the type of account you are paying - Personal or Business. Sole trader accounts are considered personal accounts.


What is a payment scheduler?
Payment scheduler helps set up regular or repeated payments from your account. A scheduled transfer between yourself and someone else on your set frequency.

How can I delete a scheduled payment?
  • From the ACE app go to “scheduled payments”
  • Go to your transaction history and tap on “see all”
  • Swipe left on the scheduled payment & tap “edit or delete”.

What happens if I don't have enough funds for my Payment scheduler or Direct Debit?
At the beginning of the month, you will receive an in-app notification of the scheduled payment date so that you can add money to continue the payment. Whenever the payment is due, you will receive a second notification 24 hours prior, and in case of insufficient funds the payment will be canceled. If your payment is declined due to insufficient funds, then you will need to resubmit the payment request once you have added sufficient funds to your account.
