Before making any transactions from your M-SELEN wallet, please ensure that the recipient’s wallet/mobile number and the amount of money are correct.
In the event of any incorrect transactions through M-SELEN, all responsibilities lie with the customer/sender because the customer himself inputs the recipient’s wallet/mobile number and the amount of money and confirms the transaction by providing the PIN. Before providing such PIN, the customer can see the information (the recipient’s mobile number and transaction amount) input by him/her on his/her mobile’s screen so that he/she can verify the information and in case of any incorrect input he/she can cancel the instructions of transaction. Therefore, in the event of money being sent by the customer to an unintended wallet or number, M-SELEN has no authority to reimburse the customer without any direction of the court, or the consent of the recipient.
Usually, it takes less than a minute.
