    We are currently experiencing a downtime with the central switch in Nigeria. As a result, you may notice:

    1. Delays in transfers to Paystack Titan and Wema-managed accounts via both Pay with Transfer (PwT) and Dedicated Virtual Accounts (DVA).

    2. Delays in processing outward transfers to all bank accounts.

    3. Increased failures when linking bank accounts for Direct Debit

    4. Increased failures when trying to make Direct Debit payments

    Our team is actively working with partners to resolve this issue and will provide updates as soon as service is fully restored.
