Return/refund policies
In the event your outgoing transaction is denied/declined, the funds will be refunded back to your Sleek Business Account in SGD. It is possible that the amount differs from the initial funds that you sent out. This is due to fluctuating forex rates. There are certain possibilities on why your transaction was refunded:
- You inputted incorrect beneficiary details.
- You initiated a transaction to a prohibited corridor.
- Your Beneficiary's bank rejected the transaction.
