  • How do I dispute a chargeback?

    • We recommend that merchants avoid customer-filed charge backs by providing excellent customer service and fulfilled promises. Also, clearly stating the transaction descriptor in the checkout process will help mitigate customer confusion. If a chargeback is filed, we recommend that the merchant provide a signed payment affidavit from the customer along with a copy of the customer’s identification.

The Rolling Reserve can be withheld for 1 (one) to 6 (six) months depending on the agreement made in your Terms of Agreement.

  • What is Allied Wallet?

    • Allied Wallet is an IPSP (Internet Payment Service Provider) that gives merchants the ability to accept credit cards online via credit card processing, multi-currency merchant services, state-of-the-art payment processing, digital eWallet solutions, and a PCI Level 1 payment gateway. Explore our About page to learn more.

  • What is this item on my credit card statement?

    • If you purchased a product from a website using Allied Wallet, the descriptor will have an “ALW*” in the prefix signifying it is an Allied Wallet transaction. Next to this will be the Company Name of the website owner from which you made your purchase. Lastly, you’ll see the customer service phone number that you can call for information regarding the transaction. If a charge meets these criteria and is unfamiliar, continue on to the next question.

  • What do I do if I have a charge that I don’t recognize?

    • If there is a charge on your credit card that you do not recognize and the descriptor fits the criteria mentioned above, please contact us using any of the following methods:

  • How can I dispute a charge?

    • If you believe your purchase to be a mistake or fraudulent, contact your bank and dispute the charge or you can file a dispute with us at www.alliedwallet.co.uk/support/

  • What do I do if I never received my purchase?

  • Can I have more than one eWallet account?

    • We only offer one account per user. Your account can be funded and linked with different credit cards, but sole ownership of multiple accounts is prohibited.

  • How long does it take for a transfer to show up in my eWallet?

    • Most transfers will show up in your account immediately. When you fund your account with your credit card, the transfer will take place once the transaction is approved by your credit card company. After purchasing goods or services from a merchant, the transaction should show up in your account as soon as the merchant accepts the transfer. When transferring money to another user, the transaction will appear delayed until the user accepts your transfer.

  • Are there certain things I cannot use my eWallet to send or receive payments for?

    • We do not process for the purchases or sale of: unlicensed content, spyware, phone minutes, existing debts, digital cash, spending accounts, gift certificates, coupons, rebates, vouchers, securities, stocks, bonds, deeds, sweepstakes, gaming, gambling, sport betting, wagers, wagering pools, lottery tickets, warez, pirated software, pirating tools, hacking tools, http/tcp proxies, irc/ircd, bnc, eggdrop, remote bots, shell accounts, dial-ups, dial-ins, spamming tools, fake ID tools, credit reports, anonymous proxies, proxy lists, password lists, email address lists, postal address lists, or any materials endorsing or encouraging violence, hatred, revenge, racism, victimization, or criminal activity.

  • Why didn’t I receive my account activation email?

    • If you do not receive your activation email, first check your junk/spam folder to ensure it did not fall in those boxes. If you still have not received your activation email, please contact us by calling 1-888-255-1137, using our Live Chat feature on our contact us page or by emailing us at support@alliedwallet.com.

  • How do I link my credit card or bank account to my eWallet?

    • Setup is simple. And once you’re linked up, you’ll be all set to make purchases or send/receive payments. Follow the three steps on this page and you’ll be linked and ready to go.

      1. Scroll over to “My Account” and you will have a few different options for managing your account.
      2. Click on “Credit Cards” to link your card.
      3. Click the “Add New Account” button.

We have the strictest security and state-of-the-art, anti-fraud technology that serves to protect every last bit of your financial information.

      After completing the form, a small amount between $2 and $40 USD will be charged so that we can verify you card’s validity. After 5 (five) days, you will be refunded for the full amount. Check your statement with the card that you linked to Allied Wallet. The transaction might appear as “Pending” for a few days. If you need help finding the transaction, please contact your bank.

      After, just simply login to your Allied Wallet account and click on “Credit Card Accounts,” then click “unverified”. After you finish these four short steps, your credit card will be verified and you will be free to use it as you please.
