The official waiting period
Start by checking the transaction in the account and confirming which payment method was used. BAR 1 says deposits should normally be visible immediately, but asks customers to allow up to 24 hours if the balance has not changed after a few minutes.
If the deposit is still missing after that window, contact BAR 1 support to investigate. Include the payment method, amount, approximate time and the confirmation or transaction reference so support can identify the attempt. Keep a copy of the bank or wallet confirmation while you wait.
If the payment was declined rather than completed, follow the separate declined-deposit checks. Review the amount and payment details, complete any bank confirmation that is still pending, and check whether the method is displayed in the cashier before submitting another attempt.
| Normal posting | BAR 1 says a deposit should appear immediately. |
|---|---|
| If it is missing | Allow 24 hours to pass, regardless of the payment method. |
| After 24 hours | Contact BAR 1 support so the transaction can be investigated. |
Check the payment before contacting support
- Check the payment status
Open the bank, wallet or payment app used for the transaction.
- Keep the transaction details
Note the date, amount and reference shown by the payment provider.
- Check the BAR 1 account history
Confirm whether the deposit appears in the account's transaction list or balance.
- Allow the published window
If the deposit is not visible after a few minutes, wait up to 24 hours as the Help Centre advises.
- Contact support after 24 hours
If the balance remains unchanged, send the transaction details through a BAR 1 support channel.
Keep the investigation specific
Tell support which method you used, the amount, when you paid and the reference provided by the bank or wallet. Do not send a password or one-time code. BAR 1's deposit issue guide also recommends checking the account details, available balance and any confirmation prompt when a payment is incomplete.
