Apple Pay is down for Chase customers, and perhaps others

It seems that Apple Pay is down, notably for Chase prospects — Verge staffers have had their playing cards declined whereas making an attempt to pay with Chase playing cards utilizing Apple Pay, whereas utilizing the identical bodily card works simply tremendous. A number of individuals on Threads confirmed the identical subject once I requested — though individuals with non-Chase banks like Citi seem like utilizing Apple Pay simply tremendous.

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 could have points,” however we’ve had reviews in each New York and LA, so it seems we’re all into crab muffins and soccer as we speak.

For what it’s price, the Chase customer support line is presently as much as 15-minute wait occasions, and brokers are telling those who Apple Pay is “going by upkeep” to obtain “an sudden improve,” which is a pleasant euphemism. Sadly, nobody appears to know when issues shall be mounted. We’ve reached out to Apple for remark; we’ll replace if we hear something.
