Personal Investments • Fidelity not allowing Roth conversion citing industry wide fraudulent activity on transfers

$

I contributed $7000 to my Traditional IRA account last week, and the amount has settled. However, when I attempted to do the conversion to Roth, it says the amount of cash available for withdrawal in my TIRA account is a few cents (earnings on the contribution).

When I reached out to a Fido agent, she said I will need to wait until 10/24 before making the conversion. The reason she gave was that all transfers are paused for 3 weeks due to fraudulent transfer activity that is pervasive at this time.

Hard to believe, they are asking to wait for 3+ weeks. Is this a known issue? Are other brokerages doing the same?

I just did a Roth Conversion on Sunday with Fidelity and all went through fine for me.
The holds tend to involve money that was recently deposited to Fidelity through a mobile check deposit or through an EFT transfer initiated by Fidelity.


Personally, I have not been impacted by the new controls. Yet.
