Glo Currency transfers are usually successful in seconds. However, in rare situations where there is a problem communicating with the recipient's bank, a transfer may linger in the "sent-for-pay" status for more than few minutes. Our systems will keep retrying the transaction until allocated period for retry have been exhausted and it fails, and the status will reflect “ERROR”. Successful transactions final status will reflect “PROCESSED”.
