ISSUE: Global Payments is slow/down

Beginning at 9:24 p.m. CDT tonight, Global Payments, a major payment processing provider, experienced major slowing in processing, causing timeouts. AVR is aware of this issue, and at this time there is nothing AVR can do directly. Global Payments is a major processor and has confirmed they are having an unknown issue. They are working diligently on a resolution but, until it is repaired by them, processing for AVR merchants is slow and may even time out. Please stand by, and thank you for your patience.
