Opay Failed Transactions: How To Cancel Pending Transaction On Opay
Opay has been providing financial solutions to Nigerians for years now. They are one of the platforms in Nigeria with few hitches when it comes to completing transactions. Sometimes, when completing transactions, one may get the “pending” message or “failed” message. So, what do you do when this happens? In this article, you are going to find out how to cancel pending transactions on Opay. But before we delve into that, let’s consider some reasons why your transaction might fall under the “pending” remark in the first place.
Reasons For Failed Transactions On Opay
Sometimes, when transactions fail while using the OPay app, most people conclude that it is just the app that is malfunctioning. In this section, we will be reading about all the possible reasons for failed or pending transactions on Opay.
1. Network Failure
A downtime network is one of the main reasons why you might get failed transactions on Opay. Sometimes, the network issue might come from the SIM network that you are using. Other times, it may be as a result of the recipient Bank’s network. Whichever the case may be, when the network is poor, the possibility of having a complete and fast transaction is low. So, a keynote is that when you observe the network of your SIM or the recipient is low, do not attempt to make a transfer or any important transaction, because it may fail.
2. Insufficient Balance
Having insufficient balance is another main reason why transactions may pend. Sometimes, when you do not have sufficient balance to carry out operations, you get a pending message on your OPay app. So, to avoid this error message, be sure to make sure that you have a significant amount of money on your OPay app to avoid pending transactions or failed transactions.
3. Security Reasons
When you make a suspicious transaction or you transfer money to an account under investigation, it can lead to the transactions pending or failing. Sometimes, the reasons may be that an investigation into fraudulent transactions may be going on in the account you transfer funds to. So, be sure that it is a legit account you are sending funds to avoid any pending message being shown on your OPay app.
