Thank you for your reply, however, I have contacted Intuit 3 times already, twice on the phone, once in chat.

All three gave different answers so I don't see how contacting Intuit 4th time will be of any help.  Again, this "Delay" status started showing up few week ago.  I never had this happen before in over 10 years I've been processing E-checks with QB.  In fact, I have a customer that I processed 2 E-checks a month ago without any issues and when I processed E-check third time for this same customer a week ago (balance payment), this "Delay" status showed up. Customer's bank info was still the same. I did end up getting money in 6 days but still why the "Delay" if it's the same customer?  There is has to be a reason for these "Delays", if only I could get an explanation as to why.

What's interesting to me is in the last 2 weeks I have processed (2) E-checks for a new customer and both times status showed "Pending" immediately after processing and money received within 2-3 days as before.  However, (2) of my other new customers I processed E-checks for on July 26th and (1) yesterday showed "Delayed" status immediately after processing.  Could it be that Intuit now has a list of banks which they are delaying ACH transactions immediately?  Otherwise, how else can this be explained when transactions get status "Delayed" immediately?
