Frequently asked questions
How long does a top-up to United Kingdom take?▾
A few seconds after payment confirmation. The recipient gets an SMS from the operator showing the credit added to their balance.
Does the recipient need to create a Sift account?▾
No. Sift sends the credit straight to their mobile line via the operator. No app to install on the recipient side, no form to fill in.
What happens if the top-up fails?▾
If delivery fails for a technical reason (operator outage, code rejected, number inactive on the operator side), you are automatically refunded within 5 to 10 business days on the payment method used. Full details at /refund-policy.
What if I enter the wrong number?▾
The top-up has been technically delivered to the number you submitted, so it is not refundable. Double-check the number before confirming your order.
Are there any hidden fees?▾
No. The displayed price is all-in: credit amount, transaction fee, EUR → local currency conversion and banking fees. No surprises on your statement.
Which payment methods are accepted?▾
Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay. All payments are protected by 3D Secure.
