Understanding a transaction status
What Processing, Pending, Completed, Failed and Cancelled mean — and what to do in each case.
Updated 2026-08-30
The statuses
- Completed: the money was debited and credited. A receipt is available.
- Processing: Kasapay is waiting for an external confirmation (mobile-money operator, bank). Nothing to do; check back later.
- Pending / Under review: the transaction is held for a compliance check, usually for large amounts. It is released or cancelled after review, generally within the business day.
- Failed: the operation did not go through; any blocked amount is returned to your account.
- Cancelled: cancelled by you (revert window) or by Kasapay after review.
"My money hasn't arrived"
- Open the transaction detail and check the status and reference.
- For a mobile-money deposit, check that the operator request was validated on your phone.
- If the status is Completed but the recipient sees nothing, they should check the right account (USD or CDF) and refresh.
- If nothing changes after one hour, send the reference to support from the number registered on your account.
