## Updates from Marqeta
### 2026-04-03 19:44 UTC: identified
From March 24th, we are experiencing an increase in the rate of declines for card-present transactions using magnetic stripe swipe (magstripe). This may cause cardholder's physical cards to be declined even though the cards and accounts are in good standing. Engineers are working to resolve this issue today. We will update here once this work is complete.

From the builder: does your app depend on Marqeta? [Sazabi](https://www.sazabi.com/?utm_source=down-guide&utm_medium=markdown&utm_content=marqeta) detects problems in your own logs without hand-written monitors, and you can ask it in plain language which errors mention Marqeta.
