Plaćanje Visa karticama u Britaniji i Evropi ne funkcioniše, naglašavajući potrebu za decentralizovanim opcijama

Visa je saopštila da njihova plaćanja karticama imaju smetnje širom Britanije i Evrope, prenosi BBC danas, 1. juna.

Visa, koja obrađuje preko 150.000 miliona transakcija dnevno, oglasila se na Tviteru u vezi prekida usluge, napominjući da će nastaviti sa obaveštavanjem dok rešavaju situaciju:

We are currently experiencing a service disruption which is preventing some Visa transactions in Europe from being processed. We are investigating the cause and working as quickly as possible to resolve the situation. We will keep you updated.

Za razliku od toga, bitkoinova (BTC) decentralizovana mreža je funkcionalna 99,99% vremena od svog osnivanja 3. januara 2009. godine.

Prema Regulatoru platnih sistema, problem je izolovan isključivo za plaćanja Visa karticama.

Berkli i Banka Irske rekli su svojim klijentima da povuku novac uz pomoć bankomata.

We are aware some customers are experiencing Visa debit card issues. This is impacting multiple banks across Europe. We will update when we know more. Cash withdrawals can be made at any BOI ATM.

Druge banke, uključujući NatWest i HSBC, oglasile su se na Tviteru povodom problema sa Visom, naglašavajući da Mastercard transakcije nisu pogođene:

We are aware that some customers are experiencing issues with Visa Card Payments. This is an industry wide issue which is being investigated as a matter of urgency and we apologise for any inconvenience. ATM and MasterCard transactions are not impacted.

We are aware of an industry wide issue affecting Visa payments which is under investigation. ATM and MasterCard transactions are not impacted. Visa are working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We will continue to support our impacted customers as needed.

Prema BBC-u, lanac supermarketa Tesco je rekao da Visa problem utiče na kupce koji koriste beskontaktno plaćanje, ali ne i one koji koriste sisteme plaćanja pomoću čipova i pina. Sainsbury’s je takođe primetio da se suočava sa problemima kod plaćanja Visa karticom.

Međutim, rešenje za plaćanje karticama, Paymentsense, objavio je na Tviteru da je Visa "ispravila smetnje", a trenutni prekid je rezultat "zaostalih transakcija":

Dear customers,

We have been informed that VISA has corrected the outage and transactions are now starting to go through. There is still some intermittency however, we believe this is due to a backlog of transactions.
