Yet another update, yesterday on the MF site my DD status changed to Verifying with Bank, and today at my bank I get a third of these, redacted of course a wee bit:
SCHEDULED DEPOSIT
A deposit for $0.00 will be available to your XXXX Ckg XXXX 2/15/2019 from PPD MARKET FORCE MF Payroll ROUTING NO. 02200002.
That's a third deposit of nada.... Like really, if I ran a MSC, I'd probably issue debit cards to shoppers and load the pay every week and have shoppers so happy they'd be singing their way to shop, no need to fiddle with the bank at all!!!
Alas, this is the real world... so sorry to let you all down....
