We implemented a fix and are currently monitoring the result.
InvestigatingNovember 04, 2026 at 10:57 AMUTC
We are experiencing an increase in failures on inward (Pay with Transfer and Dedicated Virtual Accounts) 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.
We are in communication with the Central Switch and will share updates as soon as possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
