Incident Report

Region: All Description: Some of our functionalities may be disrupted by current global outage on AWS cloud provider. To minimize bad user experience we have disabled local card top ups. 3DS transaction confirmations via SMS are also blocked so the workaround is to use biometric. We are waiting for the updates from 3rd party provider.
