Payment stuck as pending - how long to resolve?

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with a payment showing as pending. Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it take to resolve? I'm getting worried because I really need this money to come through soon.

Ugh, I've been there. It's so frustrating when payments get stuck in limbo. How long has it been pending for you?

It's been pending since yesterday afternoon. I'm hoping it clears soon, but I'm getting anxious.

That's not too bad yet. I've seen some take up to 3-5 business days to clear. Hang in there!

I had a similar issue last month. It turned out there was a glitch in their system. Have you tried calling customer service?

Pro tip: I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too, but it really did work for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

Sometimes pending payments are due to bank processing times. What bank do you use? Some are notoriously slow.

Have you checked your account details? Once I had a payment stuck because I had accidentally transposed two numbers in my routing number. Took me forever to figure it out 🤦‍♀️

This is why I always keep a small emergency fund. You never know when these bureaucratic hiccups will happen. Hope it gets sorted soon, OP!

Here's what I've learned from dealing with pending payments: 1. Don't panic. Most pending payments clear within 3-5 business days. 2. Double-check all your account details. One wrong digit can cause delays. 3. Contact your bank. Sometimes they can see more info on their end. 4. Keep documentation of everything. Screenshots, emails, etc. 5. If it goes beyond 5 business days, escalate to customer service. 6. Consider setting up direct deposit if you haven't already. It's usually faster. 7. In the future, try to have a small buffer in your account if possible. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.
