This clause establishes a narrow but explicit cancellation window and a conditional refund obligation, which directly limits and defines the user's recourse after initiating a remittance transfer.
Interpretive note: The canonical claim merges two related but technically independent propositions (cancellation right and refund obligation). The refund condition—funds not yet picked up or deposited—is retained as a qualifier rather than listed as omitted material because it is a direct limitation on the primary refund obligation rather than an independent legal proposition.
The updated terms now authorize Wise to accept incoming funds via FedNow, a new instant payment service. The agreement states that FedNow transactions are processed in real time and generally cannot be canceled or reversed once completed, distinguishing them from traditional transfers that may have reversal windows. The terms also establish that Wise may decline any incoming FedNow transaction at its discretion where required for security, compliance, or operational reasons, without specifying advance notice or appeal procedures. Users receiving FedNow payments should understand that such transfers become final immediately upon completion.
