Dear Valued Merchant, Outbound NGN payouts, including transfers from your dashboard, are back online and processing normally, so you can safely resume NGN transfers. Outbound payouts remain temporarily paused in GHS, KES, UGX, ZMW, RWF, TZS, MWK, EGP, XOF, XAF, USD, GBP and EUR while we complete scheduled updates, and we are restoring them one at a time. Please avoid repeatedly retrying failed transfers in these currencies, as this could create duplicate payout attempts once they reopen. Payment acceptance is unaffected across all payment methods, and your account balances are secure. You may notice a delay in seeing recent balance history while it updates. We will share another update as more currencies are restored. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. Affected Services: Affected Markets: Global
