In Ukraine, a large-scale malfunction of the Visa and Mastercard cards has been recorded. Ukrainian social networks are clogged with angry comments from ordinary people.
In Kiev and other large cities of Ukraine, people cannot pay with a Visa and Mastercard card in supermarkets, as well as withdraw cash from ATMs. Payment terminals issue a "bank cancellation" error.
There are no official comments yet, and Ukrainians have no choice but to write comments on social networks, shoot videos with faulty terminals and ATMs. Here are some responses:
"I couldn't pay at Fora 20 minutes ago!" (Fora is a large Ukrainian supermarket chain. — EADaily).
"It's just that the payment doesn't go through and they say it's only in cash. I just tried to pay at Comfi. It's just a mistake that employees fix, but they can't fix."
"I just paid with a card that was not an outlet… Everything is fine, but I have a Private Bank."
The Ukrainian portal "Observer" notes:
"Official representatives of Visa andMastercard"has not yet commented on the situation, which causes additional concern among users."
