Declined payments

If we refuse to allow any withdrawal, or to make any payment, from your Account, we will (unless it would be unlawful for us to do so) tell you by the end of the next Business Day following the Business Day we received your withdrawal or payment request that we have done so, the reason why we refused and if you think we have based our decision on mistaken information, how you can ask us to rectify that mistake.

Diamond Microfinance customers with Visa Debit Cards can contact us to cancel a recurring Debit Card payment; clients must notify us before the end of the Business Day before the next payment is due.
