Update timeline

  1. identified Apr 03, 2026, 07:44 PM UTC

    From March 24th, we are experiencing an increase in the rate of declines for card-present transactions using magnetic stripe swipe (magstripe). This may cause cardholder's physical cards to be declined even though the cards and accounts are in good standing. Engineers are working to resolve this issue today. We will update here once this work is complete.
