Check Whether a Pay Day Exists
An approved status without a pay day can mean payment is not yet processed. If a pay day is shown, compare it with the current date before treating the payment as late.
Check for a Reversal or Banking Issue
A payment can fail after approval if the account is closed, mismatched or unable to receive the transfer.
Do Not Reapply
A payment problem is not the same as an application problem. Creating another application does not fix a bank transfer.
Escalate After Basic Checks
If the pay day has passed and the payment channel shows nothing, use the recognised support process and keep your status information ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I approved but unpaid?
Payment may still be processing, banking verification may be incomplete, or a transfer may have failed.
Should I change bank details immediately?
Only if the existing details are wrong or the status indicates a banking problem.
Will reapplying release the money?
No. Reapplying does not solve an already approved payment issue.
