PayWay Resolution Paths – How to Resolve Common Issues

Resolution Paths for PayWay Issues

1. Check the PayWay Website (FAQ / Help Center First)

  • Visit the PayWay website for the FAQ section covering common issues such as:

    • Registration problems

    • Adding cards

    • Verifying identity

  • This can often provide quick solutions without contacting support.


2. Verify Your Account Details

  • Ensure your mobile number is correct and in the proper international format.

  • For verification:

    • Make sure your ID document is valid and matches your account details.

    • Complete the video/selfie verification steps promptly.

  • If you did not receive an SMS code, check for:

    • Mobile network restrictions (DND settings)

    • Weak signal or connectivity issues


3. Keep Proof of Transactions

  • Always save receipts, reference numbers, or transaction IDs for payments (bills, taxes, withdrawals).

  • This information is essential if:

    • Payment is not reflected

    • Amount is incorrectly credited


4. Contact Support When Needed

  • For issues such as:

    • Payments not showing

    • Withdrawal failures

    • Any other PayWay-related problem

  • Use official support channels: helpline, email, or social media.

  • Provide complete details:

    • Account number

    • Transaction ID

    • Date/Time

    • Amount

    • Explanation of the issue


5. Check Connectivity / Retailer Reliability

  • When using a retailer or agent to top-up or withdraw:

    • Ensure the agent’s terminal is working

    • Network connection is stable

    • Request a receipt before leaving


6. Be Aware of Transaction Charges

  • Unexpected charges may occur; verify:

    • Latest fee schedule from PayWay

    • Charges upfront with the agent

    • Service support and interface requirements (e.g., taxes, utilities)


7. If Service Outage is Suspected

  • If multiple users experience issues simultaneously (network or mobile money outage), it may not be PayWay-specific.

  • Options:

    • Check alternative payment channels

    • Wait until connectivity is restored
