-
Confirm your bank account is connected successfully.
-

Why Can’t I Send a Refund?
You may be unable to send a refund if:
-
Not an Authorized User: Only users with Refund permissions can initiate refunds.
-
Funds Already Disbursed: If the originating funding source has been removed, you may need to process the refund outside of DepositLink.
-
Transaction Type Restriction: Certain payment types are not eligible for refunds within the system.
How to Fix It:
-
Confirm your permissions with your Company Admin.
-
Check the transaction status — only Cleared payments sent to your company bank account are eligible for in-platform refunds.
-
Check that the originating bank account is connected within DepositLink.
-
If a refund must be processed outside DepositLink, coordinate directly with the payer and your bank.
What Happens If a Deposit Is Rejected?
If the receiving bank rejects a deposit, the funds will not clear into the recipient’s account. This can happen due to invalid account information, account restrictions, or bank policies.
Process:
-
DepositLink receives a return code from the bank.
-
The transaction status will reflect as Payment Failed in your Transaction History.
-
Any advanced funds are then reconciled from the destination account.
Next Steps for the Agent:
-
Review the return code in the transaction details and work directly with the payer.
Next Steps for the Payer:
- Contact your bank for more information regarding the return code.
- Ensure there are no outgoing blocks on the account.
- Correct any account information errors before retrying.
- For persistent issues, contact your bank or switch to another bank account.
