​
Causes

Note – Error no longer occursIn mid-September 2025 the transfer restriction on users in PENDING_USER_ACTION status was lifted, meaning that this error no longer occurs. For more information, see the Pending user action guide section.
This error occurred on the POST Create a Transfer endpoint if the AuthorId or the owner of the DebitedWalletId has the UserStatus of PENDING_USER_ACTION. This error could occur regardless of the ScaContext value sent in the request.

​
What to do

The PENDING_USER_ACTION value indicates that the user needs to enroll in SCA. To retrieve a new SCA redirection link for them, call the POST Enroll a User endpoint.
