    We are currently experiencing an issue with **MTN Mobile Money transactions** due to downtime on MTN’s platform. This is causing most MTN Mobile Money payments to fail. Our team is in active communication with MTN, and we are working closely with them to restore full service as quickly as possible. We’ll share further updates as soon as they are available.
