  11. investigating Sep 03, 2026, 05:53 PM UTC

    We're currently experiencing intermittent failures affecting Mastercard. To minimize impact, we've made a temporary adjustment to our processing system that allows the majority of traffic to continue flowing normally. These failed requests are being tracked and will be re-processed once service is fully restored. No action is needed on your end. We appreciate your patience and will provide an update once everything is back to normal.
