mispayment
Erroneous funds transfer
Mispayment is a payment made incorrectly—wrong amount, wrong recipient, or wrong timing.
The term appears most often in financial, legal, and administrative contexts: The bank acknowledged the mispayment and issued a correction.
It covers both overpayments and underpayments, whether accidental or systematic.
