Wrong recipient name.

Hello, I made a payment to the right email but typed in the wrong name for the recipient. Does anyone know if this will prevent the payee from accepting it?

Hi @Abbeville_kid,

 

Thank you for your post! The email address is the important part, as that will be where the payment is directed. The payment will get through even if the name is incorrect, but you may want to tell the recipient to expect the payment so they don't get confused if they receive a message that has the wrong name.

 

I hope this helps!
