Nigeria: Increased Failures on Access Bank Card Transactions
Ongoing since 11:03 AM UTC, affecting NIGERIA (Cards).
We are currently observing a higher than usual failure rate on one-time transactions made with Access Bank cards as a result of an issue with our processing partner. Transactions made with cards issued by other banks are not affected. As a result, one-time payments made with Access Bank cards may fail. We are working with our processing partner to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and we will provide updates as soon as normal service is restored. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
