What would you like to know?

I made a mistake entering transaction or receiver details. What should I do?

Please contact our call centre immediately. Depending on the status of your transaction we may be able to cancel immediately. However, if the money transfer has been executed, we shall make reasonable endeavours to stop the pay-out. Note, we cannot be held liable for any failure to track or retrieve the payment for you. You must reimburse us for any third party costs we incur in connection with the tracking, retrieval or refund of the payment. We will also charge you an administration fee of 10 EUR which will be either deducted from the remittance amount or reimbursed by a separate transfer to our bank account. 

Why do I need to identify myself?

European banking laws and anti-money laundering regulations mandate that VoiceCash Bank identify people who send more than a certain limit in a given period of time. You will automatically be contacted by a VoiceCash representative or receive instructions via email based on your country of residence. Once you are identified you will be able to send more money internationally and can benefit from higher transaction limits.

 

If you want to take advantage of higher transaction limits right away, then please contact our call centre and we will instruct you accordingly.

How do I identify myself?

You will automatically receive instructions via email when you reach your transaction limit. Customers in Germany will receive a PostIdent coupon and can use the well known PostIdent service at any German Post office.
