    Started on Friday and now happening again. Did they change something? Usually it goes right through - 2 minutes max? Anyone heard anything? A new proceedure now?? Thanks!

    Nobody knows. In the past they've had some similar slow issues that were cleared up in a day or maybe longer, I'm not really sure. Might be a safe bet that this won't last, but we'll see.

    It's been the topic of fair amount of conversation in the daily threads, which is where 99.8% of the posts on this forum happen: http://mturkforum.com/showthread.ph...ur-Computer-Before-You-re-Sorry-Sunday!/page5

    Who knows. They just changed it all of a sudden.

    Withdrawals to a bank already take 18-24 hours. Now a simple transfer from mturk to payments takes another 24 hrs? Terrible.

    Mine usually go through in under 2 minutes then money is in the bank the next morning. This sucks!

    I just emailed them. I'll let everyone know when I get an answer. Asked if the payment system had changed or WHAT? LOL!

    Rather than transfers from Turk to Payments taking a fixed 24 hours to complete, it seems that these transfers are being held and run as a batch.

    My Saturday transfer took 6 hours to complete. Last night’s took seven. But both completed shortly after 1AM Pacific Time.

    I just hope they fix it. Sunday's transfer took 14 hours to complete at around 11 am. Monday's transfer took almost the same amount of time. I guess we have to change our transfer habits and plan ahead to withdraw. I used to transfer to Amazon Payments by 3 or 4 pm Sun-Thu. It was instantaneous, then transferred to my bank account and it was there the next day.

    Well, my batch theory was discredited tonight:

    Your Tue, Aug 30, 2016 01:43 PM earnings transfer to Amazon Payments is complete

    So, 6 hours and change.

    The transfer I did yesterday went through this morning, so a bit over 12 hours.
