Sometimes transactions to or from a bank or credit union can fail. Here are a few reasons why this can happen:
- – Insufficient funds.
- – There are insufficient funds in the sending bank or credit union account to complete the transaction.
- – Frozen account.
- – A bank or credit union account has been frozen. Other reasons. A bank or credit union rejects the transaction for some other reason.
If a transaction fails, please contact your bank or credit union to check on the status of your account. Then either re-initiate the transaction or ask your financial institution why the transaction cannot be processed.

Only videos that are offensive or defamatory toward your business will be removed.

If a video successfully completes the gig, the prize must be paid.
8. Are there a max amount of gigs or prizes I am allowed to award per month?
No.
9. How do you decide who wins?
You decide how many, how much, and the rules. All prizes must be paid out if each video completes the predetermined rules. However, here at franki aren’t unreasonable and if a video is completely unusable it may be removed from the completed gigs on a case by case basis.
10. What happens if a gig isn’t fulfilled? / what happens to the money that is not used?
Once the gig close date is reached, any funds that aren’t fulfilled will be credited to your account. i.e. You have funded your account for 10 potential winners of $20 per winner (total $200), you receive 8 submissions, all of which successfully completed the gig, leaving 2 prizes of $20 (total of $40) leftover, this $40 will be credited to your account to be used on other franki purchases or a secondary gig.
