XX/XX/XXXX, I transferred {$220.00} from my bank account into my Juno account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to transfer funds of {$200.00} to another banking source, which is when I noticed that they weren't allowing any transactions to go out of my account. 

I then attempted to put my funds into a crypto purchase, and noticed that all the options to purchased were not available. 

XX/XX/XXXX, I inquired on what is going on with my account, and they then responded on XX/XX/XXXX with this message : XXXX XXXX, I deeply regret to inform you that there is a temporary disruption in our services, and unfortunately, we are unable to provide a specific timeline for resolution at this moment. 

Since the services are disrupted your transaction was returned.
