Apple Pay is down for Chase customers, and perhaps others

It seems that Apple Pay is down, significantly for Chase clients — Verge staffers have had their playing cards declined whereas attempting to pay with Chase playing cards utilizing Apple Pay, whereas utilizing the identical bodily card works simply superb. A number of folks on Threads confirmed the identical concern once I requested — though folks with non-Chase banks like Citi look like utilizing Apple Pay simply superb.

Apple’s system standing web page says that Apple Pay and Pockets have a upkeep in progress which began at 12PM — which is a fairly bizarre time to begin a upkeep that disrupts funds. The web page additionally says that “Some Maryland Customers might have points,” however we’ve had stories in each New York and LA, so it seems we’re all into crab desserts and soccer immediately.

For what it’s price, the Chase customer support line is at present as much as 15-minute wait instances, and brokers are telling people who Apple Pay is “going by way of upkeep” to obtain “an surprising improve,” which is a pleasant euphemism. Sadly, nobody appears to know when issues will probably be fastened. We’ve reached out to Apple for remark; we’ll replace if we hear something.
