Troubleshooting

“Pending” payout states stem from timing, risk review or data freshness gaps. A structured workflow reduces repeated refresh loops and unnecessary support tickets.

Stepwise Resolution Flow

  1. Confirm notification log (ensure no KYC / doc request).
  2. Check bank posting history for typical settlement times.
  3. Refresh bank connection once (avoid rapid retries).
  4. Escalate after provider SLA threshold (document timestamps).

Prevention Practices

  • Maintain accurate bank details; avoid mid-payout account switching.
  • Leave small balance buffer to avoid negative posting risk.
  • Avoid stacking instant withdrawals in rapid succession.
