Dwolla uptime
Measured from multiple regions every 6 hours. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 29 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What Dwolla does
Dwolla moves money between bank accounts in the United States over the ACH network. Platforms embed its API to pay out to users, collect funds and verify bank accounts instead of building bank connectivity themselves. Because it sits between a product and the banking system, an incident stops payments inside somebody else's application.
What an outage looks like
Calls to create transfers return errors or time out, and money movement stops rather than failing loudly for end users. Webhooks that tell your backend a transfer settled stop arriving, so transfer status in your own database goes stale while the underlying payment may still be progressing. The dashboard can be unavailable separately from the API.
What to do about it
Check Dwolla's status page and read the component rows: API, Dashboard and Website are reported separately for Production and Sandbox, so a Sandbox incident does not affect live money. The page also tracks upstreams including Plaid, MX, Visa, Cloudflare, AWS and Federal Reserve services. Do not retry transfers blindly, since a request that timed out may have been accepted.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?

How we measure this
- We request Dwolla's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Dwolla publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
