ACH Questions
______________________________________________________________
Q: Where do the funds go?

A: Directly to the bank account that you provided when you selected your payment
method.

Q: What if I do not see my ACH payment?

A: [If payment status is Successful]: Is it possible that you provided information for a
different bank account? If so, please look to see if that other account received your
settlement payment. If you are certain which account information you provided and you
still do not see your payment, please provide the name of the bank that you used for
this payment and the last four digits of the bank account number. We will check our
records to see if this matches your payment. If the bank name and last four digits match
and you still do not see your payment, we will escalate your payment to the settlement
administrator for further review and our bank partner will conduct an ACH trace on the
payment. This trace typically takes 5-10 business days.

[If payment status is Initiated]: We are waiting to receive confirmation from the
settlement administrator as to whether your ACH payment was successful. While the
payments generally show up in an account the next business day, it can take up to five
business days to know whether the payment was successful. Please check back with us
then.

[If the payment status is Unsuccessful]: We see that your ACH payment was
unsuccessful. Once the funds from your Unsuccessful ACH payment are returned, we
will send the funds to you via virtual Mastercard.
