There were 14 Aeropay outages since April 19, 2026 totaling 53h 35m of downtime. Each is summarised below — incident details, duration, and resolution information.
An issue sending 2FA codes via SMS was identified on the Pay API. Other SMS functionality was unaffected. A patch fix has been applied.
We're aware that users signing up or resetting their password through our Pay SDK may experience delays or non-delivery of SMS verification codes. We have not observed impact to merchants integrating directly with our API. Our team is actively investigating the root cause and will post updates as we have them.
SMS delivery for verification codes via our Pay SDK has returned to normal levels, and we are no longer observing failures. We're continuing to closely monitor the situation before marking this incident as resolved. Direct API integrators remain unaffected.
This incident has been resolved. The root cause was identified as an issue at a downstream provider, which was inadvertently filtering certain one-time passcode SMS messages. The downstream provider has confirmed the issue is resolved on their end, and we have verified normal SMS delivery for Pay SDK verification codes. No further action is needed.
Starting at 15:05 CT the Pay API began responding with 5xx level errors. This is due to unclosed stale database connections from the API workload computes accumulating and eventually maxing out our connection pool. At 15:10 API workload compute started decreasing tasks and closing database connections. API impact hit a maximum of 6% of all requests. At 15:30 API impact is less than 1% At 15:37 Last 5xx level error was detected
Wells Fargo is experiencing an outage which in turn affects Aerosync bank linking and data retrieval. We are engaged with Wells Fargo and data sources and will update when resolved.
Starting at approximately 4:31 AM CDT on July 16, 2026, US mobile carrier networks began filtering SMS messages containing "Aeropay," causing delivery failures for messages used in user sign-up and phone verification flows. We deployed a workaround at approximately 12:32 PM CDT, and successful delivery rates returned to above 99%. We are actively working with carriers to reach a full resolution.
A data source powering Aerosync is experiencing issues that may prevent balance checks and authentication through our service. We are working closely with our data provider partners to monitor the situation and will update this page as more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience.
We're currently investigating a small number of errors affecting our POST /payoutTransaction endpoint. Our engineering team is actively looking into the issue, and we'll post an update as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your patience.
A fix has been deployed and we are currently monitoring the system. No further issues have been observed since the fix was applied. We'll continue to monitor and post a final update once we've confirmed full recovery.
The issue has been fully resolved. All API endpoints are operating normally, and no further errors have been observed since the fix was deployed. Thank you for your patience.
We're currently investigating an issue that may be causing some API endpoints to experience degraded performance 5xx status codes being returned. Our engineering team is actively working to restore full service, and we'll post an update as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your patience.
