Update

While we have noted an increase in success rates, we're still seeing a small handful of customers have their account verified slower than we'd like. We'll monitor throughout the weekend and hopefully see some positive change early next week.

Thanks again for your continued patience.

Identified

Ongoing issues with identification lookups in Nigeria, account verification for Level 1 or above is taking longer than expected. Customers who started their account verification on or after 12:00 UTC on 19 September 2023 will see a longer turn around time to have their account verified.

We're working closely with our providers to ensure we can have account verification times return to normal.

Thanks for your patience.
