# Cancel or correct a payment

> Ask to stop an unfunded payment or fix recipient details when allowed.

## Cancel a payment

> “Can I cancel the payment I just started?”

Tell your assistant which payment you mean. It checks the current status and
whether cancellation is available, then asks you to confirm before cancelling.
Ask it to check the result afterward; requesting cancellation is not proof
that the payment stopped.

Cancellation is available only before funds move and in supported payment
states. It cannot reverse a funded transfer. If you already sent money, tell
your assistant before doing anything else and use
[payment recovery](/payments/recover-failures).

## Correct a recipient

> “The recipient details on this payment are wrong. What can I do?”

Your assistant can correct an existing payment only when AgentBank has paused
it specifically to request recipient correction. Provide the requested details,
review the corrected recipient, and confirm the change. Your assistant then
checks what the payment needs next.

Changing a [saved recipient](/money-out/manage-recipients) does not change a
payment already in progress. If correction is not offered, ask whether the
payment can be cancelled or needs support.

<Warning>
  Do not start or fund a replacement while the original payment is unresolved.
  Check that it has ended and whether any funds moved before deciding to try again.
</Warning>

[recipient correction](/reference/tools/correct-payment-recipient) references.
