Money transfer from balance to wrong bank

Okay so, as the title says. I accidentally transferred my PayPal balance to the wrong bank account. I don’t even know what bank account it is, I thought I had only two cards on there, but there was a third I must’ve accidentally selected. I thought I selected my main one, but I selected one that isn’t even confirmed on my PayPal account. It’s asking me to do the two small payment verifications for confirming the bank info. If I delete that bank info without doing the obvious confirmation, will it stop the transfer and put the money back in my PayPal balance? Also, if anyone asks, yes I already made a dispute case. Waiting on that, but freaking out since I need this money for car insurance. I also don’t see a cancel transfer button. And finally, it doesn’t say the transfer is complete yet, so hopefully it will be stopped in time. I didn’t notice this until just now, I can’t call PayPal due to business hours.

Hello @CutesyNeko

Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm sorry to hear a recent transfer isn't going quite as you had expected. Unfortunately, once you being a transfer, we cannot interrupt it. If it fails, the bank may take up to 1 week for your bank to notify us for any issues processing your transfer. We'll email you if we receive any information from your bank. 
 

The best option is normally to reach out to the funding source if you're able to find out which bank / credit card it went to. 

 

My apologies for any inconvenience this caused. Best wishes!
