    We have received notification from our provider that the issue with certain Interac cards has been resolved over the weekend and failures are no longer occurring. Our team will send out another direct communication to Cova Pay Canada retailers with next steps on any customer accounts that were debited in error and when to expect funds to be credited. We do apologize for the long running incident, but we wanted to be certain the issue was resolved before closing it out. Thank you, -Cova Support
