Bank transfer being reviewed?

[amywhiteman10]

Hi just transferred money to my bank account which is usually instant but now it’s under review? Why is this? I need the money to post items but could be over 24 hours? Is there anything I can do?

Sadly not.

Withdrawals are 2-72 hours in the U.K.

Thank you, I know this already, however all bank transfers I’ve done have been instant however this time around I had a notification pop up saying it would be under review but I’ve never had an issue before so just wondering why it would suddenly do this? Thanks!

Thank you, I know the time limit already however all previous transfers have been instant but this time when I did it, I had a notification pop up saying it was under review and I’m just wondering why it’s doing that when I’ve done it without issue every other time? Thanks!

Random security review, we all get them at some time or another.

Normally happens if you withdraw the funds as soon as you receive them, if you withdraw every couple of weeks or so doesn't happen as often, at least it didn't to me.

Yeah I normally transfer straight away, and had a few sales recently so must be why. Thanks for your help!
