I got it as well on two separate accounts. One of which I changed the banking information this month and Apple owes me money and one which doesn't have any banking information at all. Very weird. Since today is payday on the first account I will let you know if the payment gets through regardless.

Update: Payment got through

Oh man! Got heart attack. Thank you for the update.

Hello, some developers may have received an email yesterday noting that their banking information in iTunes Connect is invalid and needs to be corrected. This email was sent in error and we apologize. No action needs to be taken at this time.
