Sending & receiving money Coming soon

Transfers you accept: what is coming

A coming-soon kind of transfer that waits for the recipient to accept it, built so wrong numbers stop costing money.

Today, a Kit Pay transfer completes when you approve it — which is exactly right between people who know each other, and exactly the problem when a digit was wrong. A coming-soon feature changes the shape for the cases that need it: a transfer that waits, and only becomes the recipient's money when they accept it.

The design being built

  • You send to a number as usual, but as a waiting transfer rather than an instant one.
  • The recipient sees it and accepts — or declines, or simply never claims it.
  • Only acceptance moves the money into their wallet; a transfer nobody accepts comes back instead of vanishing into a stranger's balance.

The quiet upside is what it does to the wrong-number story. Today that story ends with a favour: the mistaken recipient choosing to return money that already became theirs. With acceptance in the middle, the story usually ends before it begins — the stranger who never claims it never receives it, and the sender recovers without depending on anyone's goodwill.

What will not change

Everything that makes transfers trustworthy stays: sending remains a sensitive action approved by you, tied to what you are doing, using your wallet PIN or supported device security; every movement remains a double-entry ledger record; and your history remains the one source of truth about what actually happened. Acceptance adds a step for the recipient — it does not loosen anything for the sender.

Until it arrives

The habits that protect you today keep working: read the review screen slowly, prefer payment requests when you are unsure of a number, and know the honest options if a mistake does happen. Features reduce risk; attention removes it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose a waiting transfer today?

Not yet — the feature is coming soon. Transfers today complete on your approval, so keep reading the review screen carefully.

Will every transfer require acceptance once this launches?

The design is about giving transfers a safer shape where it helps. The app will explain exactly how it works for your account when the feature reaches you.
