Having known that, take the following steps to reverse capitec cash send money transfer
- Send an SMS to 0860102043
- Alternatively, you can call the number above for a faster and quick response
- Now, a capitec customer service staff will attend to you ( this may sometimes be annoying because of long minutes/hours of waiting)
- If you are lucky to quickly get hold of the staff, some security questions will be asked from you e.g. your name, account number, when you made the transfer etc.
- If the security answers are successful, the staff will help in reversing the sent funds

Three scenarios where the voucher may not be redeemed is if it has expired ( i.e more than 30 days), it was the wrong PIN or reference number sent to you or you made a mistake while typing it on the ATM etc.

- capitec cash send reference number lost or expired
Please note that it is valid for 30 days. A capitec cash send pin has maximum duration of 30 days. So make sure you redeem the money before it expires.
However, if your reference number is lost or you forget your PIN, just ask the sender to please resend it to you because the sender has it in their inbox or SMS. If the sender has deleted it or cannot find it, the sender can quickly generate another one for you.
