Is MB Way down right now?
MB Way answers payments as usual at the moment. The MB Way status panel at the top of this page tracks confirmations, transfers and cash codes. MB Way down reports from users land here through the day, so a wide fault stands out fast.
Most quiet-day reports name one bank or one phone only. When confirmations stall across many banks at once, the fault sits in the shared service.
Is MB Way down for me or everyone?
Ask a friend on another bank to send a small payment to your number. If theirs lands and yours stalls, your card link or your app build carries the fault. If both hang, the problem covers everyone on the network.
How confirming a payment inside the app works
A shop or website starts the payment, and a request lands in the app with the amount and seller name. You check both lines, then approve with your PIN or fingerprint before the timer runs out.
Nothing moves until you approve. Letting the timer die cancels the payment, and the shop starts a fresh request. An MBS trader watching an order sit unfilled knows that wait too, since a stalled session can leave a request hanging.
What MB Net virtual cards add to online shopping
MB Net builds a one-off card number inside the app, linked to your real card but showing none of its digits. You set a ceiling for that card and use it on a single website. A leaked number then harms nothing beyond the limit you picked. The virtual number dies after the window you set, so a stored copy is worth nothing.
When a cash machine asks for a code instead of a card
The app builds a withdrawal code with an amount you choose ahead. At a Multibanco machine you type the code, and cash comes out with no card at all. During a broad MB Way outage these codes fail too, since the same rails carry them.
Why a payment gets refused even with money in the account
Each bank sets daily ceilings for MB Way, and a payment above yours stops cold. A blocked or expired card refuses as well. An old phone number still linked to the service sends the confirmation into the void.
Common MB Way Problems and Fixes
MB Way trouble gathers around missing confirmations, stale links and timers that die too fast. The fixes below follow those three threads.
Bring back a confirmation request that never lands
Open the app and sign in fully, since requests pause while it sleeps in the background. Allow app notifications and switch off battery saving for it. Ask the shop or site to send the payment again so a fresh request lands.
Fix a payment refused at the till
Check the daily ceiling your bank set inside your banking app. Pay a smaller amount as a test to see if the limit caused the refusal. A card blocked for online use refuses too.
Repair an activation code that never arrives
Confirm the number typed in the app matches the one your bank holds. A phone restart frees the inbox so the activation text can land. Ask for a new code only after the old one expires, since each new code kills the last.
Stop the app closing on its logo screen
Let any pending store update for the app finish, then open it again. Restart the phone if the logo screen still freezes. Removing and adding the app again keeps your link safe, since pairing runs through activation once more.
Get a QR code payment to read first time
Wipe the camera lens and hold the code inside the frame lines. Raise screen brightness when you show your own code to a till scanner. A cracked lens or a dark room defeats most scans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a shop payment sit waiting in my MB Way app?
The payment waits for your approval inside the app. Nothing leaves your account until you confirm with your PIN or fingerprint. A payment you ignore dies when its timer ends.
How do I change the phone number tied to MB Way?
The number changes inside your bank app or at a Multibanco machine, not inside MB Way itself. Your card moves to the new number after activation. The old number stops receiving confirmations at once.
What is the biggest payment MB Way allows?
Each bank sets its own daily ceiling, and many set per-payment limits too. Your bank app shows the ceiling that guards your card. Payments above it refuse even with a healthy balance.
Can I send money to someone without the app?
The receiver needs no app, since money lands on the card tied to their number. Sending always starts from your app or your bank app. A receiver with no linked card gets nothing until they join.
Does MB Way charge for sending money to friends?
Sends inside the app carry no fee for most bank clients. Your bank sets the final word on fees. Shop payments follow the same account rules.
Where do I see a payment I approved by mistake?
The activity list shows each approved payment with its state. An approved send cannot be pulled back from the app. Your bank is the only door for a dispute.
