Panic in shops and supermarkets from north to south. In many areas of our country, in fact, we have witnessed a situation that has never happened before. Electronic payments blocked throughout Italywith customers forced to abandon shopping in supermarkets because they didn’t have enough cash to pay for it.
In the late morning of Friday 15 April 2022, problems were reported in many areas of Italy digital payments with cards and ATMs that take advantage of the circuits managed by Nexi.
Hundreds of reports e post on social networks they denounced a situation that has never happened before in Italy. Many citizens have not been able to use ATMs and credit cards or even withdraw money from the bank.
The blackout of electronic payments through the circuit managed by Nexi it happened in one of the worst periods, like the Friday before Easter. Many people were just doing the shopping.
And after having done it and arriving at the cashier, the bitter discovery when it came to paying. Debit and credit cards out of use. For those who did not have money with them, the only solution was to abandon the shopping there. Also because it was often not possible to withdraw at the counters.
Electronic payments blocked all over Italy: Nexi is trying to understand what happened
The chaos has settled and the problems have been resolved, as reported by Nexi. The institution is currently trying to understand with the techniques what could have caused such a block. Block that lasted for a long time and affected various areas of our country, but only affected the Pos of the Nexi circuit.
All systems are working smoothly again, a company spokesperson reported. There may still be queues locally for each individual device to reboot. The postal police, on the other hand, say that at the moment it does not seem the result of a hacker attack.
