    Due to a third-party disruption with one of our banking partners, we are experiencing an increase in failures for some Instant Transfers to debit cards. While recovery has begun, Sellers experiencing issues with Instant Transfers can try linking a VISA debit card from a different banking institution and retry the transfer. We will continue to provide updates from our partner as we receive them. Thank you for your patience.
