When setting up a new payee, I enter EIN number and confirm EIN number. When I continue, it prompts me to confirm EIN number. I have double checked numerous times and also copied and pasted. Sam error. I also tried to change a digit on a payee already set up both the original EIN and confirmed EIN and it errors

Invalid Entry:

Please confirm Employer Identification Number (EIN)
