Tesco Resolves Brief Payment Glitch That Disrupted Some Orders

The retailer says a brief fault affected a small share of transactions, with most payments processing normally.

Overview

  • Reports emerged Wednesday morning of failed-payment notices for grocery deliveries and difficulties updating card details via the app or website.
  • Monitoring site DownDetector recorded more than 200 issue reports during the disruption.
  • Tesco apologised publicly and asked affected customers to send private messages with their details so individual cases could be reviewed.
  • The company said a very small proportion of payments were affected across online orders and some in-store transactions.
  • Tesco confirmed the problem was resolved later the same day after most transactions continued without interruption.
