Our provider has confirmed that a fix has been applied, however it'll still take 2-3 hours before things return to normal, while the fix is propagated throughout their systems. We'll keep on eye on things this side, and will provide an update as soon we've seen that bank feed connections can be added again. We appreciate your patience.

We're sorry to stay that the fix is *still* not working. Appreciate all of your patience, will provide an update when we hear more information.

We're afraid that this issue is still ongoing, and means you won't be able to either add new connections, nor update your credentials for older connections either. Our provider has confirmed now that this issue is also related to hardware problems on their end too, and they're working with their own provider to get this resolved. We'll continue monitoring and providing updates here when they become available. Thanks again for your patience.

The fix is now working for PocketSmith. New bank feed connections can be added again, and credential updates are able to be processed too. We strongly suspect everything is now back to normal, but we'll keep monitoring things for a few hours before calling this incident resolved. Thanks for your patience while this was figured out!
