Pay by Bank app payments are Faster Payments, which means, like bank transfers, they aren’t covered by the same consumer protection as credit or debit card payments (like Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act and chargebacks). If you want to dispute a transaction, you can find out the process for this on Mastercard’s Pay by Bank app website under ‘Disputes service summary’.
