Official incidents

in the last 30 days

  • Confirmation of Payee: elevated error rates

    We are seeing an increased number of Confirmation of Payee (CoP) requests failing or timing out. A third-party provider in the Confirmation of Payee chain has confirmed an issue on their side and is working on a fix. We are monitoring closely.

    Other payment services are not affected.

    If a Confirmation of Payee request returns an error or times out, please retry it. We will post another update as soon as we hear more.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers for payment teams and merchants investigating an incident. Firemap explains the evidence; it does not diagnose your merchant account.

Is Acquired down right now?

No, but Acquired reports degraded performance: its services work, but some are slower or return more errors than usual. Open incident: Confirmation of Payee: elevated error rates. It started on 22 Oct at 14:48 UTC. Firemap last read the status page today at 08:11 UTC.

What do Operational, Degraded, Partial outage and Major outage mean?

They are the four status levels Firemap uses for Acquired, the same scale most status pages use. Operational means everything works normally. Degraded means the services work, but some are slower or return more errors than usual. Partial outage means some services, regions or payment methods are unavailable, while the rest still work. Major outage means a key service is unavailable for most customers. When Acquired publishes it, each official incident also shows its stage: Investigating, Identified, Monitoring or Resolved. In the status history, each day shows its incidents by level, and a purple strip marks days with community reports.

Does this confirm that my merchant account or customers are affected?

Not on its own. Firemap shows what Acquired publishes about its platform, not the state of your account. An incident may affect only some regions, payment methods or integrations. Check your own transaction logs and decline codes, and contact Acquired support with specific transaction IDs if you see failures.

Where does Firemap get Acquired status information?

From the official Acquired status page, once Firemap has connected it. Firemap then reads the page automatically every few minutes and records each status change and incident Acquired publishes there. Community reports come from PayAtlas users and appear in their own block; they do not change the official status.

Why can official incidents and community reports disagree?

They come from different sources. Official incidents are what Acquired has confirmed, and providers often post one only after the first failures. Community reports come from users and can show a problem earlier, but it may be local: one bank, one country or one integration. Treat reports without an official incident as an early signal, not a confirmed outage.

What should I check before changing payment routing?

Start with your own data: error rates, decline codes and response times by payment method, card scheme and country. Compare them with the scope of the incident on the status page. Make sure the backup provider supports the same methods and currencies, move a small share of traffic first, and switch back once the incident is resolved and your metrics recover.

How does Firemap handle stale or unavailable status data?

It shows how old the data is instead of guessing. When Firemap has a status for Acquired, the top of this page shows when Firemap last read the official status page, for example “Updated 2h ago”. If a check fails, the page keeps the last status Firemap read, with its time. If there has been no reading for 7 days, or Firemap has no working status page for Acquired, the page shows “Status page not connected” instead of a status. The status history counts incidents, so a day without incidents stays green even if the page could not be read that day.

What is Firemap’s coverage and method?

Firemap tracks the official status pages of payment providers listed on PayAtlas. It checks each page automatically and stores every incident with its start time and, once resolved, its end time. When Firemap has data for Acquired, this page shows 30 days of status history, every official incident that is still open and the resolved incidents that started in the last 30 days. Community reports from the last 30 days are shown for every provider.

What can Firemap confirm, and what can’t it?

Firemap can confirm only what Acquired has published on its status page: the current status, incidents with their start time and, once resolved, end time, and how long the page has been tracked. It cannot confirm the impact on a specific merchant, transaction or region unless Acquired says so, and it cannot see problems the provider has not reported.
