Countdown stores are experiencing payment issues today, the supermarket operator has confirmed.
Both Newshub and Stuff are reporting issues with paywave and Apple Pay at Auckland stores in Botany, Mt Wellington, Point Chevalier, Ponsonby and Greenlane, as well as stores in Wellington and Nelson.
A Countdown spokeswoman told the Herald the cause of the network issue impacted a number of systems across Countdown this morning, it had been addressed and the company is working with its partners to return to normal as quickly as possible.
She said there may be a few days and the company appreciates customers’ understanding while this happens.
“We thank our customers for their patience while we worked through this and apologise for any inconvenience caused, particularly at this busy time of year,” the spokeswoman said.
NZ Eftpos told Stuff its payment terminals and network were fully operational, and there were no active issues.
