A network outage that interrupted credit and debit card transactions earlier today has been resolved, Moneris says.
The Canadian payment processing firm told Global News in a statement that the outage affecting the ability to process transactions lasted approximately 90 minutes.
Reports of the outage first appeared on the Downdetector.ca website before noon eastern time on Saturday.
Moneris posted a message on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, at around 2 p.m. saying it had resolved the network problem.
