    We're currently seeing an increase in failed payments for Nigerian local cards due to an outage at one of our processing partners. Verve cards are the most affected. International cards and other payment channels are not affected and are working normally. We're working with our partner to restore service and will share an update as soon as we have more information. We apologize for the disruption and appreciate your patience.
