# Why was my deposit skipped / failed / rejected?

Grifin works hard to make sure our customers don’t overdraft their bank accounts. We have a system that does a 2-step check of the balance of your account the night before trying to transfer money out of it.

To help prevent overdrafts, here’s how our system works: First, your bank account must have **at least $15** in it. If you have less than $15, the system will automatically skip your deposit. Second, your account must have at least **1.5 times** your expected transfer amount. To illustrate this, here are some examples:

1. If you have $15 in your bank account and you expect to transfer $5 to Grifin, your deposit will **go through.**
2. If you have $30 in your bank account and you expect to transfer $20 to Grifin, your deposit will **go through**.
3. If you have $20 in your bank account and you expect to transfer $20 to Grifin, your deposit will be **SKIPPED** because **you need to have at least $30**, which is 1.5 times your expected transfer.

If this system thinks you’re likely to overdraft, we will automatically skip your weekly deposit and notify you. **Please check the balance of your bank account the day before you expect to make a transfer** so that your deposit goes through smoothly.

If this is a recurring issue that you think is incorrect, please reach out to our customer support team at [support@grifin.com](mailto:support@grifin.com)!
