“This incident is preventing some **** transactions in Europe from being processed. We are investigating the cause and working as quickly as possible to resolve the situation,” **** said.
Major retailers confirmed that card purchases were failing, as queues built up at petrol stations, with frustrated drivers unable to pay after filling up.
Marks & Spencer said: “We are unable to accept **** card payments currently. No retailers are able to accept **** cards.”


A Sainsbury’s spokesperson added: “We are aware that **** are currently experiencing problems. We are doing our best to help our customers and apologise for any inconvenience.” However, some customers were simply dumping their shopping at the tills.
********** and cash machine transactions continued as usual but for bank customers with **** cards only there was deep frustration.
Lisa Eagleton-Muir, 44, had come to London to audition for the Great British Sewing Bee but could not buy any food at King’s Cross station for the train back to Newcastle.
“I’ve only got two cards and they’re both ****. I tried to buy my tea in M&S and a cafe but they were both rejected. I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s a long journey home with no food.” Luckily she was able to withdraw money from the a cash machine.
