If you are going out tonight better bring some hard cash with you--
some debit /interac systems are down...eg you may not be able to withdraw money from an ATM other than one at your bank or pay a bill via debit transfer.
 
Hasa anyone used an affected ABM yet today?

Does it tell you right away that the machine is out of service or do you find out the hard way?
 
I ran into this problem earlier this afternoon. Great system..until it crash's.

Are CC's affected as well or just debit cards????????
I did try CC cash advance thinking my bank had bounced my cheques, ran into the same problem. Your best bet is cash from an ATM at your bank. The debit systems are not working at many places.
Fortunately for me, I have left over pizza from last night. That's gonna have to do for supper tonight.
 
I used a bank machine this afternoon and it worked fine. I used Interac about an hour ago and it also worked.

Maybe they have fixed the problem or the area where you are is not affected.
When I use the card at my financial institution it works fine.
 
I got groceries on debit at 5:00 just fine

I used my Visa 3 times today without any hassles.
Mind you that was in the morning though
I think perhaps cards from certain institutions are affected.
I don't think the entire system crashed or the system could just be overloaded
meaning some transactions are going through, other aren't.
 
I only conduct cash transactions. However I do have to make deposits/withdrawls at ABM's from time to time. I'm only worried about machines eating the cheque, not giving money and then "forgetting" the deposit the next day.

Money Mart still working??
 
Cannonball's debit machines were down when I left there around 5pm today.

Some stores had signs up saying that Debit cards from the Royal Bank were down
 
It affected all of Canada, only for 2.5 hours and apparently the result of a software problem at Moneris Solutions
