Disputes & Refunds
Last updated 6 June 2026
We want every exchange to go smoothly. If something doesn't, here's how FastPay handles disputes and when a refund applies.
1. Our commitment
Every transaction on FastPay is reviewed by our team and kept on an audit trail. If you believe an exchange was handled incorrectly, you can raise a dispute from the transaction and a member of our team will review it fairly and promptly.
2. When a dispute may arise
- payout did not arrive within the time we communicated;
- the amount paid out does not match the rate you locked;
- an asset you delivered was marked invalid and you disagree; or
- you believe there was an error or miscommunication during the exchange.
3. How to raise a dispute
Contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours of the transaction, through any of:
- the Dispute option on the transaction itself (preferred — it keeps everything in context);
- WhatsApp at +234 810 857 4744; or
- email at support1@fastpay.exchange.
Please include your transaction reference and any relevant details so we can find it quickly.
4. Evidence that helps
- the transaction reference and the date/time it took place;
- screenshots of the locked rate and your transaction details;
- proof of asset delivery (giftcard receipt, blockchain transaction hash, or wire confirmation); and
- your bank statement reference for the expected payout.
5. How we review
We acknowledge disputes within 1 business day and aim to resolve most within 3–5 business days. Complex cases — such as those needing a banking partner or blockchain investigation — may take longer, and we'll keep you updated while we work on it.
6. When a refund applies
You are entitled to a refund or correction where:
- we received your asset but did not deliver the agreed payout;
- you were paid less than the rate you locked, through our error; or
- a transaction was charged or processed in error on our side.
Refunds are returned to the original source where possible (for example, returning a crypto transfer to the sending wallet), or to your verified bank account.
7. When a refund does not apply
- the exchange completed correctly at the rate you locked;
- market movement after you locked a rate (a locked rate is final);
- incorrect payout details that you provided and confirmed;
- an asset that was invalid, already redeemed, fraudulent, or charged back; or
- requests that breach our Terms of Use or applicable law.
8. Escalation
If you're not satisfied with the outcome, ask for your case to be escalated to a senior reviewer. We'll take a fresh look and give you a final written response.
9. Chargebacks
Please contact us before initiating any chargeback so we can resolve the issue directly — it's almost always faster. Chargebacks raised on fraudulent or already-settled transactions may be contested with supporting evidence.
