Overview
Amend is a change made by correcting, adding and/or deleting certain data. Amend requirements arise because of incorrect data entered at the point of entry (POE), either due to agent's or representative's typo, inaccuracy of information provided by senders and/or specific POE limitations.
- You cannot process amends on Directed Sends, ExpressPayment and chosen MaaS/BDS transactions; refer to MaaS Partners and Business Disbursement Service.
- Making one swap and minor misspelling correction at the same time is considered a single amend.
- In case of state/province amend requests, refer to Amending State or Province.
- MGO Representatives only: always add notes both in Admin and Salesforce, even if a transaction was declined/cancelled or amend request was denied.
- MGO transactions only: you should handle all amend requests, including MGO recurring payments. Note: Salesforce can only amend a current payment in the recurring payment series; after the amend is processed, all future recurring payments need to be cancelled and setup again with the updated information, and customers are able to do it via their online account; however, if they insist on helping them, call MGO GEN to request assistance without transferring the caller; refer to MGO Recurring Payments (Cancelling Recurring Payments section) for details.
- Whenever at the beginning of a call the caller asks you if they can amend the transaction on their own, you can promote Self Service Portal as long as the requested amend type is possible to be made via portal; refer to the below procedures to check the amend eligibility, and for detailed instructions on promoting and using the portal.
Amend Types Below table lists amend types together with their descriptions and usage rules.
Minor Misspelling
- You can amend a customer's name as long as you determine that the person on the transaction remains the same.
- Due to MGI security requirements, full name changes are not allowed to ensure that an intended receiver remains the same person.
- Refer to Examples of ALLOWABLE and NOT Allowable Minor Misspelling Name Amends below.
Name Swap/Sequence Change Below are acceptable name swaps/switches/sequence changes; be diligent when checking an amend history and verifying if such changes have been processed multiple times.
- Swapping/changing the sequence of names within a sender's name
- Swapping/changing the sequence of names within a receiver's name
- Switching a full sender's name with the receiver's name
Multiple Amend Requests Below are acceptable numbers of name correction/swap requests where there is no MGI mistake involved.
- 1st call to correct/update a name + 2nd call to swap names
- 2 calls to swap names
- 1st call to correct/update and swap names + 2nd call to swap names Note: every request beyond that will result in a refund.
Delivery Option Some receive agents' POEs allow receivers to change their delivery option; amend code will display in the amends history, but you will not be able to complete the amend yourself in Salesforce or Mainframe. Example: transaction is sent with 10 Minutes Service, but the receiver wants to receive to their mobile wallet.
