Vendor reports an incidentWhat Flutterwave reports

Flutterwave reports an incident on its status page: [NGN] Service Alert: Intermittent Name Enquiry Failures.

Impact: major. Since 2026-11-05 14:09 UTC.

Latest update, 2026-11-05 14:09 UTC: Dear Valued Merchant, We are experiencing intermittent Name Enquiry failures affecting Nuvion Pay With Bank Transfer (PWBT) transactions. This may prevent some customers from successfully completing bank transfer payments, potentially disrupting your payment collection operations. Our team is actively working to resolve the issue and restore normal service. We will provide updates as progress is made. We apologize for the disruption to your operations and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Flutterwave reports: Minor incident (“Minor Service Outage”)

from Flutterwave's own status page, checked Nov 5, 2026, 2:27 PM UTC

Flutterwave reports an active incident: [NGN] Service Alert: Intermittent Name Enquiry Failures (partial outage, since Nov 5, 2026, 2:09 PM UTC)

Flutterwave's status page reports Minor Service Outage. Our checks of Flutterwave currently pass with normal latency. Our checks currently pass from all 4 regions. These observations can coexist: a partial error-rate degradation on their side does not have to affect every request. Our checks measure whether a single request succeeds, not the vendor's internal error rate, so this can happen when an issue affects only part of a service that our simple check does not exercise. We show the vendor's report and our check reading side by side. A check can miss problems that users see. Read both before you draw a conclusion.

These are Flutterwave's components, named and scored by Flutterwave. We do not map them onto the functions we check above, because we have no way to know which of their components our checks touch. Two lists, side by side, neither one rewriting the other.

This is Flutterwave's own claim about their service, shown separately from what we measured. We never change our own numbers based on what a vendor reports, and this reading never changes theirs. Read both.

Check your own site while you wait on Flutterwave

Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not Flutterwave. It cannot diagnose Flutterwave's own systems.

What we measured, function by function

Flutterwave answers on more than one surface, and they can fail apart. Each row is one surface, checked from the same regions. The verdict above follows the api row, because that is the surface we treat as this service's own; a failure on any other row is a partial outage, not a full one.

These are unverified reports from people using Flutterwave, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for Flutterwave yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.

check entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works

We have been measuring Flutterwave since November 2, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

What we check

primaryfunctional: live API

secondary

What our check can and cannot see

A pass means the service's servers answered with the sign-in refusal they give any request that is not signed in. It does not show that sign-in works or that anything behind the sign-in wall responds.

Host checked: api.flutterwave.com

RealUptime is not affiliated with Flutterwave; the name identifies what we checked, and nothing here speaks for Flutterwave's own team. We send a single web request to Flutterwave from 4 regions on our own schedule and time the response. We do not see inside Flutterwave's systems, do not use an account or real transaction, and are not the same signal Flutterwave's own team has access to. Treat this as one external data point, not a verdict. At least one endpoint we check for Flutterwave is a real functional API call (marked “functional” above), not just a landing page, so a passing check there says an API answered, though it still does not show that every feature of the service works for you. Flutterwave operates in a limited set of regions, so we only check it from where it is actually available; we do not probe from a region we know it does not serve. We started monitoring this service on November 2, 2026 (3 of 14 days so far, 2438 of 500 checks). We show a full track record once we have enough continuous history. Check back soon, or monitor your own site continuously with RealUptime. Read the full methodology.
