Linking your bank account to PatientFi provides a secure and convenient way to manage your loan payments. However, there are several reasons why you might encounter difficulties when attempting to connect your account. Understanding these common issues can help you troubleshoot and find a solution.
Common Reasons You Can’t Link Your Bank Account
1. Incorrect Account or Routing Number
- What Happens: If the account or routing number you entered is incorrect or incomplete, the system won’t be able to verify your account.
- How to Fix: Double-check the details on your checks or bank statements, and ensure you’ve entered the correct numbers without any typos.
2. Your Bank Isn’t Supported
- What Happens: Not all financial institutions are integrated with our payment systems. If your bank isn’t supported, you won’t be able to link it directly (See What is Plaid?).
- How to Fix: Consider linking a different eligible bank account, or explore other payment methods such as using a debit card.
3. Security or Verification Issues
- What Happens: Your bank may have additional security steps that need to be completed before linking. This could include multi-factor authentication or confirming micro-deposits.
- How to Fix: Contact your bank to ensure any security holds on your account are removed.
4. Temporary Technical Difficulties
- What Happens: Occasionally, system maintenance, high traffic, or technical glitches can prevent successful account linking.
- How to Fix: Wait a few minutes and try again. If the issue persists, contact PatientFi Support to determine if there is a known technical issue.
5. Restrictions From Your Bank
- What Happens: Some banks have restrictions on external connections or require certain permissions before linking to third-party financial platforms.
- How to Fix: Check with your bank’s customer service to ensure there are no restrictions on connecting your account. You may need to adjust your account settings with them.
