# Reverse payment

`POST /bank-transfer-payments/{paymentId}/reverse`

Use this method to cancel a bank transfer payment in an open batch. This is also known as voiding a payment.  

To cancel a bank transfer payment, you need its paymentId. Our gateway returned the paymentId in the response of the [Create Payment](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/bank-transfer-payments/payments/create) method.  

**Note:** If you don't have the paymentId, use our [List Payments](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/bank-transfer-payments/payments/list) method to search for the bank transfer payment.  

If your request is successful, our gateway removes the bank transfer payment from the merchant’s open batch and no funds are taken from the customer's bank account.
