Issue

Since the early hours of Sunday 18 October, some customers have been unable to complete card, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments. Affected payments show an error message at the point of payment. This affects payments made through merchant websites and apps, our hosted payment page and the Virtual Terminal in the Judopay portal.

Our engineering team is working on a fix as a priority. We’ll post another update within 30 minutes, or sooner if anything changes.
