What happens if I miss the deadline for documentation?

Depends on whether it's the first or second time it happens.

First missed deadline:

  • Your payment is canceled

  • Your account stays active

  • You can submit a new payment once you've provided the required documentation

Second missed deadline (within a short window):

  • Your payment is canceled

  • Your account may be suspended

  • You'd need to contact our compliance department to resolve before using Split Pay again

For portal users specifically:

  • If the missed deadline was during the approval stage (before getting Split Pay account/routing numbers), your setup resets entirely. You'd need to reapply from scratch.

  • If the missed deadline was on a same-day payment, the payment is returned to your portal — your landlord may need to reschedule, and you may be liable for any late fees on their side

Why deadlines are firm:

The verification process exists to keep Split Pay (and your account) secure. If holds could be indefinitely deferred, the security check wouldn't actually protect anyone.

If you missed a deadline by a small margin:

  • Get in touch with us as soon as you realize

  • We can sometimes pass the case to compliance for a fresh look, especially if you have documentation ready now

  • This isn't guaranteed, but it's worth asking

If you're approaching a deadline and won't make it:

  • Get in touch before the deadline if possible

  • A heads-up that you're working on it is much better than going silent and asking after the fact

  • We can sometimes flag your case as "in progress" if there's a specific obstacle (e.g., waiting on your landlord to send the lease)
