EDIT: It seems as though the issue is mainly affecting Patrons based in the US, since the new payment processor is based in the UK. Switching to Paypal seems to remedy the problem, but if that isn't possible you might have to either switch cards or call your bank to sort things out.

I woke up this morning to a huge increase of declined pledges, and found that this is a problem that's affecting pretty much all creators in the US and UK.

Apparently, Patreon thought it would be a good idea to update their payment systems on the eve of Payday, which has resulted in a lot of banks marking the charge attempts as fraud.

One of the Patreon mods, Mindy, recommended that if you find your pledge has been declined to contact your bank to set the record straight.

I know it's a hassle, but if you guys could double check to see if your pledge went through that would be awesome! I really do depend on your support and a fair bit of it has vanished since this glitch on Patreon's end.

Hopefully they get it sorted out soon!
