My Payment is not Credited yet

As we are not the remitter of these funds, to locate the funds a trace would need to be initiated from the remitting side. Please note that the credit of funds depends on the payment method in which the remitter sent them. You can wait until close of business to see if the funds credit your vIBAN, and if they don’t we suggest you contact the remitter.
