A problem with Nets is causing significant problems with card payments in Denmark and the Nordic region this evening.

The press chief of Nets Søren Winge tells Ritzau.

- We can confirm that there are many payments that are being rejected - not just in Denmark but also in the Nordic region. We are trying to investigate what the cause might be, he tells the news bureau.

According to him, it is still too early to conclude where the error lies. The outage appears to affect all types of cards, according to Søren Winge.

Several Danes currently abroad have contacted DR and reported that they are also experiencing problems with card payments in countries such as Italy, France, and Germany.

Just before 9:00 PM, Søren Winge can inform Ritzau that some payments are starting to go through.

Green and Storebelt Challenged

---------------------------

Søren Winge recommends that businesses go into what is called "offline-mode", which allows for payment without internet.

- But that means that you cannot accept cards that require internet, such as Mastercard and Visa Debit, says Søren Winge. However, you should still be able to pay with Danish cards and credit cards.

According to the press chief, the problems began in earnest around 7:30 PM.

The problems with Nets are also being experienced on Storebelt Bridge, where motorists without license plate recognition are affected.

This is written by Sydsjællands and Lolland-Falsters Police on X.

- Have patience - a solution is being worked on with high priority. Do not let it affect the staff on site, it sounds from the police.

The problems are causing traffic jams on the bridge. On X, Sund & Bælt writes that there is a queue at the payment facility in Halsskov in the direction of Zealand.

The concert tour Green, which is in Aarhus today, is also affected.

- It affects us of course in the way that we cannot provide the service we want. It is still possible to pay with physical cards and with MobilePay in some booths, says Green's Nikolai Milman to TV 2 Østjylland.
