We are currently seeing an increased number of failed transactions for cards issued by Zenith bank due to downtime from the bank. As a result, payments made with Zenith-issued cards may fail. Other card types and payment channels remain unaffected and are operating as usual. We are actively working with the bank to resolve this issue and will share updates as soon as more information is available. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
