Troubleshooting Failed Deposits or Withdrawals

S
Written by Sarah Miller

All deposits and withdrawals refer to cash transfers into or out of your investment account. While these typically process smoothly, there are a few common reasons a deposit or withdrawal may fail. Below are the most frequent issues and how to resolve them.

Common Reasons for a Failed Transfer

  1. Bank Connection Issue (ACH Error)

    • Most often, clients have not connected their bank account via Plaid, or have done so incorrectly.

    • To solve this:

      • Have your client log into app.zoefin.com

      • Click into their account

      • Click "Info"

      • From there, they will see "ACH Relationship"

      • There will be a status for this relationship

        • It should read "Status: approved"

        • If so, the account is connected and this is not the issue

        • If not, visit the article "How to clients add an ACH relationship" to guide them through the connection process

      • Reach out to [email protected] with any assistance in microdeposit verification

  2. Insufficient Funds

    • Withdrawals and deposits will be rejected if the delivering or receiving account does not have sufficient funds.

    • To solve this:

      • The Zoe team will receive a notification that the client tried to over-withdrawal, and reach out to correct this error

        • If a withdrawal requires liquidation, the Zoe team will sell assets within the account to create the cash for this withdrawal

  3. Pending Approval on Dashboard

    • For deposits/withdrawals initiated on behalf of the client by their advisor, or the Zoe team, clients will receive an email to approve this cash transfer

      • The Zoe team is able to resend this email, or generate a link to send, if the client does not have it available

      • Once approved, the transfer will be initiated.
