Common Optimus Payout Issues and How Monica Handles Them
Monica auto-verifies the account name when you add a Optimus account. If the name doesn't match, the system blocks the save preventing payouts to wrong accounts before they happen.
If a NIBSS transfer takes longer than 60 seconds, the funds are guaranteed by the rail itself. Worst case: the amount reverses to your Monica balance within 24 hours and you can re-attempt.
If Optimus restricts your account independently (PND, a KYC query, AML flag), the payout reverses cleanly to your Monica balance. You then withdraw to a different bank.
Failed bank transfers are reversed to your Monica balance automatically. No support tickets needed for the standard failure modes.
