Splitwise Pay payments with the status “Pending” can be canceled directly through the Splitwise app. Note: Only the sender of the payment can cancel it.
To cancel a pending payment:
- Open the Splitwise mobile app.
- Tap the wallet icon in the upper left corner.
- Tap on the specific payment you want to cancel.
- Tap “Cancel payment.”
⚠️ Important: Deleting a payment record from your Splitwise group or friendship will not cancel the actual bank transaction. You must cancel the transaction from within your Wallet.
If the option to cancel is missing, the payment has already progressed too far in the banking system and can no longer be stopped.
Once the payment completes, the funds will be delivered to your recipient's Splitwise Pay Wallet. If the payment was sent by mistake, your friend can simply send the money back to you through Splitwise once it arrives in their wallet. They can do so by adding an expense where they owe you for the entire amount of the payment and settling up using their balance.
