Apple Pay is down for Chase customers, and perhaps others

It seems that Apple Pay is down, significantly 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 advantageous. Several folks on Threads confirmed the identical difficulty once I requested — though folks with non-Chase banks like Citi look like utilizing Apple Pay simply advantageous.

Apple’s system standing web page says that Apple Pay and Wallet have a upkeep in progress which began at 12PM — which is a reasonably bizarre time to begin a upkeep that disrupts funds. The web page additionally says that “Some Maryland Users may have issues,” however we’ve had experiences in each New York and LA, so it seems we’re all into crab desserts and soccer as we speak.

For what it’s value, the Chase customer support line is at present as much as 15-minute wait occasions, and brokers are telling those who Apple Pay is “going through maintenance” to obtain “an unexpected upgrade,” which is a pleasant euphemism. Sadly, nobody appears to know when issues can be fastened. We’ve reached out to Apple for remark; we’ll replace if we hear something.
