As part of the Confirmation of Payee (CoP) check you might receive an unavailable or cannot perform check message when completing your transaction. This can happen for a number of reasons, e.g. the account you are attempting to make the payment to was opened less than 24 hours previous or the bank you are sending money from has not yet connected with Progressive’s CoP services.
If you are unsure if the terms and conditions of your account allow you to make further deposits, contact your branch and a member of staff will be happy to assist you.
