Refund when paying by card

Where they came from is where they will return

When paying for goods by card, you cannot expect a cash refund. And this is not the whim of the sellers.

Returning money from the cash register for items purchased by bank transfer is not welcomed by the tax authorities. Inspectors who may come to check will regard this fact as misuse of funds.

For such a violation, the store faces a significant fine. Therefore, it makes no sense to insist on a cash refund in order to speed up the receipt of funds.

How to get money for returned goods

The cashier will only need to carry out the operation to cancel the payment, and the funds will be returned. The later you apply for a refund, the longer you will have to wait for the money to arrive.

Procedure

You should come to the store with your purchase, receipts, passport and bank card. The seller will draw up an act of acceptance of the goods, you will give him the purchased item and receipts, after which you will write an application for a refund to the card. A copy of your passport will be attached to the document, and at this point you and the seller will part ways.

Therefore, before you panic, check the payment status. The statuses can be very different: “Executed by the bank”, “Interrupted”, “The application was accepted” and the status is “Fulfilled”. If one of these statuses is specified except the last one, then in this case the money will not be debited from your account.

How to return a Sberbank credit card?

The very fact of receiving a credit card implies the fact that you consented to its issue. Because it is legally impossible to simply issue a credit card without your consent. Now let's take a closer look at how to get rid of a credit card. First of all, you can’t just forget about a credit card, since the card, according to the agreement, imposes responsibility. The card is the property of the bank and if you want to stop servicing it, you must personally return the card to the bank. To do this, you should contact a Sberbank branch and write an application to close the card. Please note that there must be no debt on the credit card. You must have your passport and the card with you.

If there is no credit card debt, a bank employee will destroy the card in front of you after accepting your application to close the card. To speed up the process of returning a credit card, we recommend contacting the branch (if possible) where you issued it. After submitting an application to cancel a credit card, it will be completely closed after 30 days.

When is the money returned to the card?

By law, the seller is obliged to pay funds for the returned goods no later than 10 days after the buyer’s request. But this is in case of payment in cash. When paying by card, the return period for objective reasons may take more than a month. The procedure is carried out in several stages:

The store accountant submits the return application to the bank that services customer cards.

Bank employees check and register the received document, and then send it for execution.

The contractor transfers the amount specified in the application to the account of the bank that issued the card to the buyer.

The bank that receives the funds transfers them to the client’s individual account.

The speed of each operation depends on many factors, so accurately calculating the date of receipt of money is problematic.

How to return an erroneous Sberbank payment?

The simplest way in case of an erroneous transfer of funds for services is, if possible, to contact the service provider and through him return the funds to your account. In addition, if your transfer has not yet been executed by the bank, then it is also easy to cancel it by finding it in the account transactions in Sberbank Online and clicking the “Cancel” button. If you made a payment by specifying non-existent recipient details, then such payment will be automatically canceled by the bank and the funds will be returned to you within 10 calendar days. And the very last case is when the erroneously entered recipient’s account actually exists. In this case, you may need to go to court.

In any case, the first thing you need to do is contact the nearest bank branch to fill out an application for a refund, supporting it with a payment receipt.

The mechanism and terms for returning money to the buyer

Expert opinion

To return a purchase paid with a bank card, the buyer contacts the store, bringing with him the necessary supporting documents described above. Then he takes the following steps:

1. Hands over the returned goods and receipts to the representative of the trading company. To record the transfer, a special acceptance and transfer act is drawn up, in which all transferred items and documents are indicated by name. This act or invoice is signed by both parties: the buyer and the seller.
2. After checking the documents and the returned goods, the client makes a statement. It is drawn up in writing and contains the following information:

• information about the individual client (full name);
• what circumstances led to the need to return the purchase;
• in what amount should a refund be made to a bank card when returning goods?

During the document verification process, the client will have to present the card from which the transfer was made in order to compare it with the documentation. An employee of the seller company will accept the return application, attaching a photocopy of the applicant’s passport.

In the future, the procedure for returning money to the buyer’s card when returning goods is as follows:

1. The accounting department of the selling company prepares the necessary package of documents and transfers it to the banking institution with which they have an acquiring agreement (service of customer plastic cards). How long this stage will take depends only on the workload and efficiency of the seller’s employees.
2. Having received the documents and the application for refund attached to them, the bank representative checks them for accuracy and registers them in incoming correspondence. The banking organization is given 3 days for this.
3. Subsequently, a refund occurs. But it is not carried out directly to the buyer; the funds first go to the general account of the bank that issued the buyer’s card.
4. At the next stage, employees of the card issuing bank transfer money directly to the card account of the individual applicant. This process also depends on subjective factors: the workload of the relevant bank department, the speed of processing applications, etc.

Terms for returning money to a bank card

Commercial banks, in an effort to improve the quality of service, refund money for goods paid for by credit card in the shortest possible time, without delaying funds in the correspondent account. It takes 2-3 banking days from cancellation of payment to crediting of money to the client’s card account.

In the case when the goods are paid for using plastic from state banks, the period for returning money to the card when returning the purchase may be the maximum possible by law 30 working days from the date of drawing up the application.

There is clearly a legal conflict, because in accordance with the Law “On Protection of Consumer Rights” the seller is obliged to return the money to the client within 10 days, but he cannot do this, because the transfer of funds depends not on him, but on the bank.

If the purchase of goods was carried out using borrowed funds, a delay in returning the money may entail additional costs for the buyer in the form of interest paid to the bank. When the refund to the credit card exceeds the 10-day period, the client has the right to demand that the trading organization compensate for the losses incurred and pay a penalty.

The trading company, in turn, will try to recover these funds from the bank through the court.

If a client requests a return on the same day that he paid for his purchase, an employee of the trading organization contacts the bank and simply cancels the transaction. This is the fastest way to get your money back.

How to return money from a Sberbank account?

And let's look at a case where a payment was made by mistake to the recipient's account maintained by Sberbank.
If you come across scammers and deceitfully offer to make a transfer to their card or account in exchange for a service, you will have to go to court and file a statement for unconscionable enrichment of the recipient of the funds. At the same time, you need to contact the police. If the recipient does not exist, then the funds “hang” in a special bank account and after 10 days will be returned to your account. If the funds were transferred to a person who exists by mistake, then it is necessary to either contact the person and ask to return the funds or go to court. In other situations, funds can be returned by leaving an application at a Sberbank branch, supporting it with a payment receipt. Now you know what to do if you made an erroneous payment and need to return the money to your Sberbank card.

Features of returning funds to the payment instrument account

If less than an hour has passed from the moment the payment was made until the need to cancel it arose, then you need to call the contact service operator and explain the current situation to him. It will be useful for you to know that the system requires a certain amount of time to process the transaction you create.

For this reason, if you managed to contact the contact service before the transaction you created was processed, the money will be returned to your payment instrument account quite quickly.

When making a money transfer using incorrect details, if you managed to notice the mistake only a few days later, then it will be much more difficult for you to get your money back. When you find yourself in the described situation, you first need to understand who exactly is to blame for the fact that the funds were sent to the wrong recipient.

If the banking structure is responsible for sending money to the wrong addressee (you entered the correct details), then you should visit the branch and fill out an application to cancel the payment. Typically, the banking structure admits its mistakes and if everything really happened, then after considering your application, the money will be returned to the account of your payment instrument quite quickly.

If you are the culprit of sending money to the wrong addressee (you made a mistake when writing the details), then in this case the chances of getting the money back are small. If the situation develops favorably, when the details you entered by mistake do not belong to the existing account, the money will simply hang.

In this case, the money will still be returned to you, but not immediately.

If the details you entered by mistake coincide with the data of any account, then your finances will go to a random recipient. In this case, it will be quite difficult to return them.

You will need to contact the recipient of your money and persuade him to voluntarily make a return. If you receive a refusal, your only recourse will be to go to the courts.

The court will eventually oblige the recipient to return the money, but to do this you will have to spend a huge amount of time and effort.

It will be useful for you to know that if you voluntarily transfer money to a scammer’s account, the chances of getting it back are minimal. For this reason, you need to remember about the possibility of becoming a victim of scammers, so as not to lose your own funds.
