Local transfer can help companies to send money to up to 1000 beneficiaries/bank accounts in one transaction real-time. When it comes to Local Transfers, accuracy and attention to detail are crucial. However, sometimes we need to edit some of the beneficiary data or even cancel it. How can we do that? There are two things you have to know about editing or canceling your submitted Local Transfer transaction: 


After Drafter Creates a Transaction

In Local Transfers, it is not possible to edit the transaction once it has been submitted. If any changes are urgently required, the Approver can reject the transaction, and Drafter needs to begin the process anew. 


Otherwise, Drafter can cancel a submitted Local Transfer request, but only within a specific timeframe. The cancellation window remains open until before the Releaser releases the funds for the transfer or you can cancel your submitted transaction before the Transaction Status changes to In Progress. It's crucial to act promptly if you wish to cancel a transaction, as once the funds are released, cancellation becomes no longer possible.


As a Releaser, you also have the ability to cancel Local Transfer requests in the 'Scheduled' and 'Payment Delayed' states only. You can find more information on how to cancel scheduled payments in this article


If you find yourself in a situation where you need to cancel a submitted Local Transfer, it's important to understand the process and know the necessary steps to take. In this article, we will run you through the simple steps to cancel a Local Transfer request by Drafter, either scheduled or direct transaction. Drafters can cancel their submitted Local Transfer request only using Jack Portal. By following these steps, you can cancel the transaction smoothly and efficiently:

  1. Log in to your Jack portal and click the Transactions menu. Inside the Transaction tab, choose the transaction that you want to cancel. For an easier process, find the transaction by utilizing the Search Bar feature.

  1. Inside the transaction details, you will find a Cancel Transfer button. Click on this button to initiate the cancellation process. 

  1. A confirmation prompt may appear to ensure you want to proceed with the cancellation. Ensure that this is the correct transaction you would like to cancel. Input your cancellation reason, then click Cancel Request to confirm your cancellation regarding the local transfer request.

After Releaser Accepts the Transaction
