SBI Unipay: Credit Card Bill Payments Failed - Customers Struggle with Refunds

8800 failed while paying IDFC credit card bill yesterday. No transaction history of it aswell.... 26000 Axis CC payment successfull...
Both were done via hdfc plat Debit Card and received 1% points aswell for both transactions... Reward points credited in just one day...
 
Hello 👋 folks,

I tried making CC payments thrice on different occasions with small amounts on SBI UNIPay Portal via HDFC DC for 1% CB however it failed on all the three occasions in last one week. Money gets deducted and refund atleast takes anywhere from 3 to 5 working days. For me SBI Unipay never works & always gets failed. Anyone having similar issues like me, what could be the reason for payment failure? SBI customer service sucks and never gets any reply. Help would be much appreciated on how get it fixed. Thanks
 
Paid 6439 HDFC credit card bill via Jio Finance with hdfc plat DC and received RPs in just one day.. Will continue to use Jio Finance until any transaction fails...
SBIUnipay suxxxx when the transaction fails.... tooo unfair to have the money stuck for so many days....

How good is customer support at Jio Finance as at least SBI Unipay, I am getting some response over email although it is taking time too long...
what I have thought
1) I will try in small amount of rs.5000 in a lot..
2) If it fails, I will stop for the day...write mails..
3) will do again in next day, if it fails again stop and write mail..
As I think with HDFC in other side, Money can be traced, it may take time but money will ultimately be refunded...
I can tell better after I get refund for my 14th August failure...as till now I have not got any refund
 
i have 1.13 lacs somewhere in the air from 16th aug, tried sending email to support, no response, then tried sending to merchant sbi email, they forwarded to the same support email and no response. What is the maximum amount of days it took for the refund? 7? 10? or more?

My transaction failed on 14th..still not received
 
I paid the bill using UNIPAY on 19th Aug and it went through easily in one try. I also received the mail of successful payment from SBI where the mail mentions if any help is needed I am sharing it here so it might help for refund queries.

For any query please write to us at support.unipay@sbi.co.in
 
Sbi will refund in 3-5...that is fine but what to do till then. It should be immediate refund if failed and SBI itself is confirming it failed. HDFC cards cannot be paid in parts so had to pay full amount in excess of 3lacs. Now with failed transaction I have to fund such large amount again. I think SBI is making free money by keeping amounts for 3-5days.
How is Jio Finance in terms of failure rates? And what is their TAT for refund on failed transactions?

I think it is more than 3-5 days for SBI unipay...as in my case, it is already 7 days
 
Update: i still didn't receive any response on the email, I did send a follow up email after posting here and now I got the refund for the 16th Aug transaction.

You can make the payment in parts, i paid 1.12 L using Unipay on 15th aug via Indus DC and it went through without any issues but on 16th while paying via HDFC DC, it failed for me.

If you emailed SBI unipay, then dont expect any response. They wont respond even in 1 year.

Wait for 7 business days, most likely you will get refund automatically. If not, then apply for chargeback from your bank, and let them handle it. Generally in 5-6 days they chargeback the amount
 
Does anyone know after BBPS confirms that they have received the confirmation of refund, how long does it take for the amount to be credited back to bank? Thanks in advance.

Got refund after 45 days.
How it went :
i have waited for 15 days after failed transaction.
then I sent email to support email id.
No response.. waited another 15 days. Again replied to my last email.. then the very next day , I received email that refund already processed and gave some date..also they gave refund reference number. But in reality , refund not received.
So I attached bank statement start from unipay debit transaction to till date.. no response received.
Waited another 15 days.. and sent reply to the email id they replied from (support.bbps@sbi.co.in)
Got refund TODAY.. after 45 days from transaction date.

Can I ask for compensation for late refund ??
