Cancel Chipper: Easy Method
What is Chipper
Service overview
Chipper is a mobile payments platform that offers wallets, virtual cards, and E‑Money purchases in Nigeria. It enables sending and receiving funds, card-based payments, and E‑Money transactions for individuals and micro‑enterprises.
Relevant features for cancellations
Key features affecting cancellations include withdrawable Payment Orders (before execution), issued E‑Money credited to your E‑Wallet, and virtual card refunds. Account termination is handled by request and may take time to complete.
How to cancel Chipper
Cancel a payment request (E‑Money purchase)
- Open the Chipper app and locate the Payment Order or E‑Money purchase you wish to cancel.
- If you are an individual or micro‑enterprise, withdraw the Payment Order in the app up to the business day before scheduled execution.
- If the payment is already executed, it is binding and cannot be cancelled via the app.
Cancel a virtual card or card transactions
- For disputed card transactions contact the merchant first to request a reversal.
- If a reversal is due, the refund will be credited back to the virtual card or wallet (see refund timelines below).
- If you have deleted a virtual card, refunds may be credited to your Chipper wallet or a newly created card.
Terminate your Chipper account
- Send an email requesting account closure using the support/contact option in the app or the official support channel.
- If you prefer postal notice, send it to: FAO: Legal Department, 350/360 Ikorodu road, Maryland, Ikeja, Lagos.
- Account closure may take up to 30 days to complete after receipt of your request.
What happens when you cancel
Access and service impact
Cancelling a Payment Order before execution stops that payment from proceeding and frees your funds if the withdrawal is accepted.
Data and account status
When you request account closure, Chipper will process the request and may retain certain records as required by law.
Renewals and recurring services
Virtual card maintenance or subscription fees cease for future periods after account closure, but already charged fees may not be refundable depending on timing and service terms.
Will I get a refund?
Refunds for unexecuted or incorrect transactions
Individuals and micro‑enterprises can claim an immediate refund for incorrect or unexecuted Payment Transactions. Refunds include the payment amount and any service fee charged, plus interest for late payment.
Refunds for virtual card transactions
Eligible virtual card refunds (merchant reversal or cancelled transaction) are credited back to the Chipper virtual card or wallet. Typical processing time is 14 - 30 business days to reflect.
Exceptions and dispute routes
- If your E‑Money has already been issued to your E‑Wallet, Chipper cannot cancel the purchase; disputes must be taken to your card issuer or by redeeming the E‑Money, subject to fees.
- There is no statutory automatic 14‑day cooling‑off refund for general purchases in the Chipper policies; refunds depend on transaction type and merchant reversal.

Customer experiences
Common positive notes
Many users value Chipper for convenient cross‑border payments, quick virtual card issuance, and simple wallet top‑ups where the service works as intended.
Recurring negative feedback
Public reviews frequently report concerns about fees (maintenance, card, decline fees), slow or poor customer support responses, and held or deducted funds without clear explanations.
Notable complaints in media and review sites
Reports and reviews have highlighted a non‑refundable or punitive fee on declined transactions (cited as ₦500 in commentary) and user claims of opaque charges; these issues appear repeatedly in TrustPilot and tech commentary.
Documentation checklist
What to prepare before cancelling a payment
- Transaction reference or Payment Order ID from the app.
- Date and amount of the scheduled execution.
- Screenshot or record of the payment details and any confirmation messages.
What to prepare for account closure or disputes
- Account email, registered phone number, and identity verification documents if requested.
- Copies of communications with merchant or Chipper support regarding the dispute.
- If sending postal notice, include a clear written request and your account details; use FAO: Legal Department, 350/360 Ikorodu road, Maryland, Ikeja, Lagos.
Common mistakes
Attempting to cancel after execution
Many users try to cancel Payment Orders after the execution date. If the payment has been executed and E‑Money issued, Chipper cannot cancel the purchase.
Not escalating early enough
Users sometimes wait too long before contacting their card issuer or filing complaints. If Chipper does not respond within 15 days, you can escalate to the Public Complaints Commission.
Missing documentation
Failing to keep transaction IDs, receipts, or message screenshots slows dispute resolution. Always capture relevant screens and correspondence when a transaction is problematic.
