I'm having trouble connecting bank account for PayTo


Common reasons


PayTo is not supported by your bank

Not all banks support PayTo (or NPP payments). In some cases the bank may supports PayTo however the type of bank account you're trying to connect is not supported.

In this case we suggest contacting your bank and/or trying another bank account or banking institution.

Check to see if your bank or financial institution supports PayTo here.


Amount exceeds agreed limit

This is where the maximum amount on the PayTo agreement exceeds the allowed transaction amount for the bank account OR the transaction amount exceeds the maximum transaction limit for you bank account.


We suggest contacting your bank and provide them the error reason, they should then be able to inform the maximum limit. You could then request to increase this above $5,000 so you can retry connecting the bank account within Cubbi.
