Lord Geordie Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I see the visa payment system has went Pete tong! Spent over half an hour in Lidl trying to pay for my shopping today. What a joke. There is apparently a europe wide system outage. Loads of conspiracy theories that it's Corbyn, Trump, or Putin its apparently causing chaos at train stations, airports etc! It's all rather interesting. Anyone else been caught up in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it took quite a long time for my £24 payment to clear after I left you at A.C earlier! We were staring at the machine for quite a while, apparently, even debit cards were affected!

Think squeezing every last £ of profit for corporate shareholders is the issue. Systems not up to doing what they are supposed to and insufficient contingency for such a critical system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I may be well wide of the mark, but I suspect foul play. TSB computers went into meltdown, now VISA. If another soon follows, I would be looking at Russia and wondering if they were giving us a taste of chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
