Swapped.com refunds are per-order, here's what their policy actually says, and how to escalate if they ignore the request.
Last verified 4 days ago against Swapped.com’s own Terms · UK, US, and EU rights covered below
The short answer
This policy covers one-off crypto buy (on-ramp) and sell (off-ramp) orders. Swapped has no subscription or membership charges. A buy order is final once the crypto is broadcast to the blockchain. A sell order is final once the payout is processed. Refunds go back to the original payment method only when an order is declined, fails compliance or fraud checks, has a technical failure, is below the 7 EUR minimum, or uses an unsupported asset. Blockchain or processor fees may be deducted. Swapped's help docs say refunds typically take 24 hours and can take up to 5 business days, and support has said card refunds average about 72 hours. Payments made to merchants through the Swapped Connect widget are not covered: refunds for goods or services must be requested from the merchant.

“For onramp transactions, they are final once the digital asset has been broadcast to the blockchain and a transaction ID has been issued, as blockchain-based transactions are irreversible and cannot be canceled, recalled, or modified after execution.”

How long does a Swapped.com refund take?
Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

For a **sell**, it's final once your payout has been processed. If your order is still pending, waiting for a bank transfer, or stuck in manual review, open the 24/7 live chat or email **support@swapped.com**.
