I've already added a second bank account and credit card.
When I try to remove the old bank account and credit card, I get this error that says, "You may not remove your funding source while an authorization is still pending."
Help?

"You cannot remove this bank account because it currently has a pending transaction. This transaction may take up to 3-5 days to complete, at which time you will be able to remove the bank account. Please try again after the transaction has been completed."

I have tried removing my bank account for a couple months and I still get the same message. I guess I just don't understand what it means to have an "authorization still pending"

I am having the same issue. Did you ever get it resolved? I changed banks three months ago so I know I don't have anything pending on my old card because it was cancelled 3 months ago.
