Paystack - Status

We are experiencing an increase in failures on inward (Pay with Transfer and Dedicated Virtual Accounts) and outward Transfers as a result of a downtime with the Central Switch in Nigeria.
As a result, you may experience delays and failures when making transfers to Paystack Virtual Accounts, and also when making outward transfers from Paystack to other bank accounts.
We are in communication with the Central Switch and will share updates as soon as possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
