Our technology makes it possible for transactions to happen in real time. But we are dependent on 3rd parties that we have no control over. These parties are the banks, municipalities and cell phone service providers. If any of these parties are down, transactions might take a bit longer. Should this happen we will always try to post a bulletin on our Facebook pages and the electricity page. |
