    I heard a staff member offer to hold onto the trolley load, till the customer came back with cash or they could just leave the trolley there and staff would put the groceries back.

    Trolley was full to the brim, the poor lad must of been at least a half hour putting it together.

    Why would they switch you and waive the fees? Its not your banks fault that visa went down?

    Doesn't matter who's fault it is, if I don't have access to my funds due to their reliance on the card networks, they should provide customers with a reliable alternative.

    It's funny how angry people get when the things they take for granted stop working, half the people in Tesco earlier who got caught out where giving out to the staff like it was their fault.

    Good observation. I think I must suffer from that too because I'm actually happy I've no money to take out of my bank account at this time. Who'd have though one could be happy for being skint.

    Visa announcing in some over complicated corporate jargon that there are nearly back operating normal.

    "We fell well short of this goal today and we apologise to all of our partners, and most especially, to Visa cardholders. Visa cardholders can now use their Visa cards as we are currently operating at close to normal levels.

    "The issue was the result of a hardware failure. We have no reason to believe this was associated with any unauthorised access or malicious event."

    Some fúcking hardware failure alright.

    The cashless society is being pushed as a great thing but then this happens. I really do pity the staff in filling stations across the country right now.

    that was a tough day at the office! almost a complete shutdown of our card machines and onsite atm between about 2 and 7 so left for a stressful day, amount of people who can't read signs that say ''cash only for fuel'' in bold all caps would shock you, luckily anyone that had a problem dropped back in with the cash eventually so I won't be killed tomorrow!

    A visa debit card is my funds. In any case it's never visas funds. Visa have nothing to do with it beyond providing the card network for allowing my card issuing bank talk to the merchants acquiring bank so they can charge their interchange rate.

    Was in a petrol station earlier and it was mayhem with about 12 people trying to pay with card


    I went to a peek strain that had signs up saying no cards accepted, even though MasterCard had been working.

    I do have a via credit card that I just use for emergencies but I have had a concern for a while that all my normal back cards and my revolut cards are MasterCard only. To many eggs in the banks basket.

    Interestingly I was told twice by a virgin phone robot that my (visa) card was not a known number twice today. They siad that four times the other day too. Suspect its not just a one day wonder. Surprisingly I knew my visa was in good standing & no alcohol was involved (pre 6pm payments) so it had to be the machine. Not too happy but just had to go with it. Another day it would have been me.

    Still not working for me anyway. Can't top up my Revolut.

    There’s a Revolut issue also, not sure if it’s linked or just bad timing. go to support and you’ll see it at the top of your screen. My two top ups are stuck in pending. Worst case scenario it will reverse back to your card account

    I think it's just topping up revolut with visa that's the issue? Topping it up with mc is OK

    I had a PTSB visa debit declined when using the tap feature yesterday in a Centra in Salthill, but my Ulsterbank Visa debit worked fine.

    ptsb tap transactions are notorious for this anyway, something to with their security features, its nearly surprising when they actually work sometimes
