Digital payments platform SadaPay is currently facing a service outage as its systems remain affected by a regional disruption linked to the Middle East. The app is not working for many users at the moment, though the company says funds are safe and card services continue to function.
In its service update, SadaPay says the disruption is due to issues impacting its servers, not user accounts or security. While the company does not name the provider, such platforms typically rely on cloud services like Amazon Web Services (AWS), where applications run in specific geographic regions.
Experts explain that this kind of setup can create what is known as a single point of failure (SPOF), when a service depends heavily on one region. If that region goes down, the entire app can stop working, even if other systems are fine.
For now, SadaPay clarifies that its core financial systems remain active. Users can still use debit cards, ATMs, and point-of-sale transactions, which shows that the company’s backend systems are separate from the app interface.
