How to fix CurrencyFair not working
CurrencyFair is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach currencyfair.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Force stop CurrencyFair
Close the app, then open it again. On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom and pause, then swipe the app card away. On Android, open Settings > Apps > CurrencyFair > Force stop, then tap Open. This clears a frozen screen or a login loop without changing your account.
Switch your network

On iOS, open Settings > Cellular and turn on the toggle for the app; on Android, open Settings > Apps > CurrencyFair > Mobile data & Wi-Fi and allow background data.

Clear CurrencyFair app cache
On Android, open Settings > Apps > CurrencyFair > Storage & cache, then tap Clear cache.

What happens when CurrencyFair goes down
CurrencyFair is an online money transfer and currency exchange service used by people sending money abroad and small businesses paying overseas suppliers. An outage interrupts logins, rate quotes, recipient setup and transfer status, and a payment you started can stall; the status at the top only shows whether user problem reports are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, and it does not ping or probe the service.
Web login and app sign-in fail first. You get bounced back to the sign-in screen or a generic error, and rate quotes hang while the exchange step refuses to load, which leaves a transfer stuck in draft. If you already submitted a transfer, its status can stop updating; recipient details and payment history may load slowly or not at all. Failures are often partial: one currency route or one region can break while the rest of the service still works.

How we track CurrencyFair
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for CurrencyFair, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for CurrencyFair, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. CurrencyFair doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
