Once a bank account has been successfully linked, you can review the transaction details and confirm to proceed:
Mesh will deposit the funds into the specified linked bank account
Mesh will use your unique funding reference as the defund reference
Banks can take up to 2 business days to settle EFT transactions
Please note that the defunding fees are handled separately from the defunding request. Always make sure that your Mesh account has sufficient mZAR to pay for the additional defunding fees.
Refer to the Mesh website for more information on the Mesh fees schedule: https://mesh.trade/fees/
Once the Defund has been processed, you will receive an email notification confirming the transaction is complete.
