Potential Payment Delays
Several factors can cause delays in the payment process:
-
Initial Payment Verification: First-time payments may undergo additional verification by payment processors to prevent fraudulent activities.
-
New Company Accounts: If a company is new to the VPM platform, their bank account may require extra verification, potentially delaying payments.
-

-
New Year’s Day
