How do I fix Newton error SD0001?

Error SD0001 means Newton’s servers couldn’t complete the connection handshake with your device. This is almost always caused by VPN usage, unstable internet, or your device switching between WiFi and mobile data during login.

Step-by-step fix:

  1. Disable any VPN. Newton’s security systems block non-residential IP addresses to prevent fraud. Turn off your VPN completely before logging in.

  2. Force close the app. On iPhone: swipe up from bottom, swipe Newton away. On Android: tap Recent Apps, swipe Newton closed.

  3. Switch networks. If you’re on WiFi, switch to mobile data (or vice versa). This resets your connection.

  4. Try the web app. Go to web.newton.co instead of the mobile app. The web version sometimes works when the app doesn’t.

  5. Reinstall the app. If nothing else works, delete and reinstall Newton from the App Store or Google Play.

Tip: If you’re traveling or using hotel/airport WiFi, that network might be flagged as suspicious. Switch to your phone’s mobile data to log in.

From Experience

I personally encountered error SD0001 while traveling in Mexico. Turning off my VPN solved it instantly. Newton’s firewall blocks non-Canadian IPs aggressively—it’s a security feature, not a bug. If you’re abroad, mobile data roaming through your Canadian carrier sometimes works better than local WiFi.

Still seeing SD0001? The error might be on Newton’s end. Check status.newton.co for any ongoing issues. If the status page shows problems, wait for Newton to resolve them.

What does “Withdrawals temporarily disabled” (S0001) mean?

Error S0001 means Newton has temporarily paused withdrawals, either for your account specifically or platform-wide. This can happen during:

  • Scheduled maintenance
  • Security reviews on your account
  • Platform-wide issues with Newton’s custodian

How to check if it’s platform-wide:

  1. Visit status.newton.co
  2. Look for any red or yellow indicators on “Crypto Withdrawals”
  3. Check Newton’s Twitter/X for announcements

If the status page shows everything operational:

Your account specifically might be under review. This can happen if:

  • You’re withdrawing to a new address for the first time
  • You’ve made unusually large transactions
  • Newton’s fraud detection flagged something

What to do:

  1. Wait 24 hours. Most account reviews resolve automatically
  2. Check your email for any messages from Newton
  3. Contact support via the in-app chat if it persists beyond 24 hours

Note: Newton is required by FINTRAC to review certain transactions. If your withdrawal is flagged for compliance review, it’s not a bug. It’s regulatory compliance. These reviews typically complete within 24 hours.

Why is my Newton verification stuck on “pending”?

Verification delays happen when Newton’s automated system can’t verify your ID and sends it for manual review. Common causes:

  • Blurry photo: The ID image isn’t clear enough to read
  • Name mismatch: Your ID name doesn’t match your account name exactly
  • Glare on the ID: Light reflecting off the card obscures text
  • Cropped corners: All 4 corners of your ID must be visible
  • Wrong document: You uploaded something other than a government-issued ID

Typical verification timeframes:

ScenarioExpected Time
Automated verification (most users)Instant to 30 seconds
Manual review (standard)Up to 48 hours
Manual review (complex cases)3-5 business days
Stuck in queue (rare)Contact support

How to fix verification issues:

  1. Check your email. Newton may have sent a request for additional documents
  2. Retake your ID photo following these tips:
    • Place ID on a dark, plain surface (not your hand)
    • Ensure all 4 corners are visible
    • No glare. Avoid direct lighting
    • Hold your phone steady
  3. Make sure names match exactly. If your ID says “Robert” but you signed up as “Bob,” contact support

Warning: If you’ve been waiting more than 48 hours with no email from Newton, contact support via the in-app help chat. Don’t create a new account. This will make things worse.

How do I fix Newton 2FA or login problems?

2FA issues are common after switching phones, updating your device, or when the authenticator app loses sync.

“Invalid code” when entering 2FA:

  1. Check the time on your phone. Authenticator apps use time-based codes. If your phone’s clock is wrong by even 30 seconds, codes won’t work. Enable automatic time sync in your settings.

  2. Use the correct account. If you have multiple Newton accounts in your authenticator app, make sure you’re using the right one.

  3. Don’t switch apps mid-login. Some users report being logged out when switching to their authenticator app. Copy the code quickly and switch back.

Lost access to 2FA entirely:

  1. Open newton.co/support
  2. Select “I can’t access my account”
  3. Submit a ticket requesting 2FA reset
  4. You’ll need to verify your identity again

Newton’s support team typically responds within 24-48 hours for 2FA reset requests. Have your ID ready for re-verification.

Why is my e-Transfer deposit delayed?

Newton advertises 5-30 minute e-Transfer deposits, but delays can happen due to your bank or Newton’s payment processor.

First, check the basics:

  1. Did you complete the deposit request? Newton sends you an email with a “Request Money” link. You must click it and approve the transfer in your banking app.

  2. Check your bank’s limits. Some banks have daily e-Transfer limits ($2,000-$3,000). If you hit the limit, the transfer may fail silently.

  3. Is your bank blocking crypto transfers? Certain banks (especially Desjardins) sometimes block transfers to crypto platforms. You may need to call your bank to whitelist Newton.

If you approved the transfer but funds haven’t arrived:

Time ElapsedWhat to Do
Under 30 minutesWait. This is normal
30 min to 2 hoursCheck status.newton.co for e-Transfer issues
2+ hoursContact Newton support with your transaction ID
24+ hoursEscalate via in-app chat

How do I check if Newton is down?

Reality Check

Before rewriting your WiFi settings or reinstalling the app, check status.newton.co first. In my experience, a significant percentage of login errors are actually system-wide maintenance, not user error. You can save yourself a lot of frustration by ruling out Newton’s end first.

Before troubleshooting any issue, check Newton’s official status page at status.newton.co.

The status page shows real-time health for:

  • Trading (buying/selling crypto)
  • E-Transfers (deposits and withdrawals)
  • Crypto deposits
  • Crypto withdrawals
  • Staking

Other places to check:

Tip: If Newton is experiencing a platform-wide issue, there’s nothing you can do but wait. Repeatedly trying to login or submit transactions can actually make things worse by adding load to their systems.

How do I contact Newton support?

The fastest way to reach Newton support is through the in-app help chat.

  1. Open the Newton app
  2. Tap your profile icon (top right)
  3. Tap Help -> Contact Us
  4. Select your issue category
  5. Start a chat

Alternative contact methods:

Response times:

  • In-app chat: Usually same-day during business hours
  • Email: 24-48 hours
