Don’t like having to wait!

I went to add money to my parent account, and after it still said zero. Thinking I messed something up, I redid it- adding more to my account. When I saw it still said zero, I noticed it told me my balance would be updated shortly. I’m still waiting. When it was go Henry, I never had this issue. It was always immediate.
