The CardConnect CardPointe, Bolt and CoPilot platforms experienced intermittent connectivity issues yesterday evening starting at approximately 5:20 p.m. ET and ending at 8:20 p.m. ET.

While service has been restored, certain merchants may experience funding delays for transactions processed yesterday (November 4). Funds will be deposited normally after a 24-hour delay.

CardConnect has identified the root cause of yesterday's service outage and have enabled additional protocols as a safeguard.
