We are experiencing a settlement file processing failure affecting Amex transactions for Nets Finland acquiring on June 27, 2026. As a result, settlements for that day's Amex transactions will be delayed until the settlement file has been successfully processed. Our teams are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and restore normal processing. No action is required from merchants at this time. We will provide an update as soon as processing has resumed. Please note that Amex transactions processed through Nets Denmark are not affected and have been processed according to the normal settlement schedule. This issue is limited to Amex transactions for Nets Finland acquiring on June 27, 2026, and does not affect any other card schemes. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this issue.
The failed settlement file has been reprocessed and delivered, and a mitigation has been applied to prevent recurrence. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The resent settlement file was confirmed processed successfully.
This is just a test
This incident has been resolved. All systems are operating normally.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by an issue affecting settlement processing for Npay terminals using Nets Finland acquiring. On June 3rd, a technical issue caused settlement processing to fail, preventing affected settlements from being submitted to the acquirer as scheduled. We corrected that error and submitted the settlements the following day. In correcting the previous error, however, we unfortunately overlooked a detail that then caused the settlement run for June 4th to fail. This has now been corrected, and the settlements have been submitted successfully, but unfortunately payouts for June 4th will be delayed. No action from merchants is required. The underlying issue that caused both problems was fixed earlier, so no further disruption is expected. We sincerely apologize for the disruption. We will be providing more information early next week.
The settlement batches for June 5th were sent as expected, and the system is operating normally.
