    We are currently experiencing an intermittent issue affecting the onboarding flow for new customer creation using our API. Customer records are being created successfully; however, customers are placed into a “blocked” status, preventing account opening for the affected customers. We have identified the issue affecting customer creation, which is related to the screening of accounts not functioning as expected. Our incident team is working as quickly as possible to resolve this and we will provide a further update shortly. We sincerely apologise for the disruption caused and understand the impact this may have. If you require further support, please contact [email protected].
