For instance, a customer might have transferred ₦10,000 into their bank account from their wallet, however, they never received the money and the wallet reflects this transaction. If a customer reports a failed payment or claims that a transaction was completed but has not reflected in their wallet, certain steps should be followed to investigate:

Gather Essential Information

To verify the transaction, request the following details from the customer:

  • The user’s registered phone number/ email address
  • A receipt or confirmation of the bank transfer
  • The source/ destination account number and bank name
  • The transaction date

Verify the Transaction

Use the admin console to cross-check the transaction by following these steps:

1. Navigate to Customer Management and select Customers

Navigate to the customer tab

2. Locate and select the customer with the reported transaction issue

View transactions ans choose customer with issue

3. View the customer’s details and go to the User’s Transactions module

Go to the user's transaction module

4. On the User’s Transactions page, review all transactions associated with the customer. Use filters such as StatusReference, and other parameters to refine your search

Check status, reference, etc


If the transaction is not visible in the transactions table, escalate the issue by sending the gathered information to support@lendsqr.com  for further investigation and resolution.
