We just sold an item on Vinted, the balance appears in the wallet, we initiate the transfer to our bank account, and nothing happens. Not the next day, nor the day after. This scenario affects an increasing number of users, and the cause is not always just a simple banking delay. Understanding where the blockage comes from allows us to act on the right lever at the right time.
Mangopay Blockage Related to Profile Data Consistency
Most articles on the subject start by explaining the classic transfer circuit. Let’s take a more concrete case: the one where the transfer remains blocked while everything seems normal on the Vinted side.

Recent feedback from users shows that Mangopay can freeze a withdrawal if the name on the bank account does not exactly match that of the Vinted account. One extra letter, a missing hyphen, a different name from the one on the ID: these discrepancies are enough to trigger a compliance check.
When encountering this situation on the Mangopay Vinted transfer, the first thing to check is the strict alignment between three elements: the name on the Vinted profile, the name on the registered IBAN, and the name on the submitted ID. If any of these three differ, the withdrawal will not go through.

Mangopay may also request additional proof of identity without a clear notification in the Vinted application. We then find ourselves with a blocked status without understanding why. In this case, we need to check our email (including spam) for any document request.
Pending Vinted Transfer: Distinguishing Normal Delay from Real Blockage
A transfer that takes a few business days to arrive in a bank account is normal. The circuit goes through Mangopay, then through the interbank network, and each step adds a delay.
The problem starts when the status of the transfer remains displayed as “in progress” or “pending” beyond this window. Several situations can explain this:
- The sale has not yet been validated by the buyer or automatically released by Vinted. As long as this step is not completed, the money remains in the Vinted wallet and cannot be transferred.
- The registered IBAN contains an error (reversed digits, old closed account). The transfer goes out but is returned rejected by the receiving bank without an explicit message on the Vinted side.
- The Mangopay account is undergoing a KYC verification, often triggered after a change of bank details or a cumulative number of transactions over a short period.
To determine which case we are in, we need to check the transaction history in the Vinted wallet. If the transfer does not even appear in the history, it means the sale has not yet been finalized. If the transfer appears with a blocked status, the problem lies with Mangopay.
Check Your IBAN Before Contacting Support
Before taking any steps, it is recommended to delete and then re-register your IBAN in the Vinted settings. An IBAN copied and pasted from a PDF bank statement sometimes contains invisible spaces or stray characters that distort the entry. Manually re-entering the IBAN resolves a significant portion of rejected transfers.
Vinted Support or Mangopay Support: Contacting the Right Party
When contacting Vinted support for a blocked transfer, the standard response is to wait a few business days. This is appropriate in the majority of cases. But when the blockage persists, Vinted often directs users to Mangopay, as the restriction comes from the payment provider.
This point is rarely explained clearly. Vinted manages the sales platform, but the funds are processed through Mangopay, which applies its own compliance rules. If Mangopay has frozen the account or requested proof, Vinted support does not have the ability to unblock the situation.
How to Contact Mangopay Directly
Mangopay does not offer customer support accessible to the general public in the same way as a traditional bank. User feedback varies on this point: some have received a response via the Mangopay contact form, while others had to go through Vinted support, which escalated the request.
The most effective approach remains to contact Vinted support, specifying that the blockage comes from Mangopay, attaching a screenshot of the transaction status and a copy of the ID. The more complete the file is from the first message, the fewer back-and-forth exchanges will be needed.
Mangopay Inactivity Fees and Risk to Vinted Wallet Balance
An unknown aspect can worsen the situation if we let a blockage linger too long. Mangopay has updated its terms and conditions to introduce annual inactivity fees of 30 euros, applicable to accounts that have remained inactive for 24 consecutive months.
Specifically, if we have money in our Vinted wallet (managed by Mangopay) and do not make any transactions for two years, these fees are deducted directly from the balance. For small amounts, this can mean the total loss of the balance.
The solution is simple: systematically transfer your balance to your bank account after each sale. Do not let money sit idle in the Vinted wallet. If the transfer is blocked, resolve the issue quickly rather than waiting in hopes that the situation will resolve itself.
Reactivating an Inactive Vinted Wallet
If the account is already considered inactive, a simple login to the application and an attempt to transfer is usually enough to reactivate the active status. Vinted advises checking payment settings and updating the ID if it has expired since registration.
A delayed Mangopay transfer on Vinted is not a foregone conclusion. In the vast majority of cases, the blockage comes from an inconsistency between the profile data, the IBAN, and the ID. Correcting these elements, contacting the right party with a complete file, and not leaving unused balance in the wallet remain the three reflexes to adopt.
