The issue occurred at around 10:30 am and resulted in some file based payments beingunable to be processed. The cause of the outage was identified, and services wereprogressively restored, with file exchange services becoming available from around 5:20 pm the same day.

The Fast Settlement Service was not affected. A subsequent issue further delayed somePEXA property settlements, resulting in around 500 property transactions not beingcompleted before the end of the settlement day, which was extended to 10:45 pm.
