Sempo App FAQs

How does the App work Online vs Offline?

Online Payments are the default payment method. Transactions sync in real-time with the dashboard and blockchain.
Offline Payments are the fallback payment method. Transactions occur on the Vendor device and increment the card balance to prevent the beneficiary double-spending funds across multiple vendors. Once the Vendor has internet, the transaction will sync with the dashboard and the blockchain.

What should I do if the transfer is failing?

Can I cancel a transfer?

Once you have initiated a transfer you can not cancel it. This includes in-store payments, peer-to-peer payments and international transfers.
If you need to change the amount you sent or refund a customer for an incorrect charge, please initiate a new payment of that amount to the individuals phone number or unique code.
If you believe a transfer was due to fraudulent activity please immediately contact us via the LIVE CHAT or via email [email protected]. We will promptly investigate the issue and provide a refund according to our Terms of Service. Failure to report a fraudulent activity might cause your account to be suspended.

How long will it take for my withdrawal to reach my account?

Sempo automatically reconciles withdrawal requests from Vendors.
The time it will take to reach your account will be between 5 and 7 business days (excluding Public Holidays), and may differ based on your financial institution.
For questions about a specific withdrawal, please contact us via the in-app LIVE CHAT.
