Why did my bank account connection fail?
Troubleshooting Bank Connection Issues for Your Buy/Sell Account Learn common reasons why your bank account may not link successfully, including incorrect info, bank restrictions, and compliance checks.
-
Incorrect Bank Account Information
The bank account details provided (such as account number, routing number, or name on the account) may not match the records held by your bank. Double-check all fields for typos or outdated information. -
Name Mismatch
The name on the bank account must match the name registered on your buy/sell account. If there’s a discrepancy (e.g., using a nickname, maiden name, or business name), the connection may be rejected. -
Bank Account Type Not Supported
Some platforms only support linking checking accounts, not savings accounts, money market accounts, or business accounts. Make sure you’re using a compatible account type. -
Account Restrictions or Permissions
Your bank account may have restrictions that prevent external services from accessing it for verification purposes. These include:-
Disabled online access or two-factor authentication issues
-
Settings that block third-party data sharing
-
Limitations on ACH transfers or external linking
Please review your bank’s settings or contact your bank to confirm external connections are permitted.

-
Multi-Signature or Joint Accounts
If the bank account is a joint or multi-signature account, it may require special authorization or may not be supported by the platform at all. -
Bank Not Supported
Some smaller or regional banks, credit unions, or online-only institutions may not be supported by the connection provider. If that’s the case, you may need to use a different account or payment method. -
Technical Issues or Downtime
Occasionally, your bank may be experiencing temporary technical issues or outages that prevent successful connections. Try again after some time or check your bank’s status page. -
Compliance and Risk Assessment by Zero Hash

Regulatory flags on the account
