Inputting incorrect funding instructions may cause funds to be inaccessible for an extended period of time.
Note: No deposit reference is required when sending funds through the SynapsePay funding method.
When a wire is sent by any institution it will include the sender's information (your bank for example) as well as the recipient and beneficiary (who will receive the funds). Whenever a deposit is failed or manually returned our funding provider, Synapse, will use the details included on the wire to send a wire back using your digital checking account.
Deposits sent from sundry accounts, clearing houses or intermediaries may be returned back to them and not back to your account. Your bank will be need to locate the funds themselves and work with any intermediaries they used to send the funds.
Failure to provide accurate sender information or sending the funds from the correct account by your financial institution will cause substantial delays in getting access to the funds.
