Looks like Paymentech's (Chase) payment processing may be down.

PARTIAL OUTAGE OCCURRED DATE : 2022-05-21 10:35:00 PST We are aware of an issue that is currently affecting transaction processing intermittently on the Paymentech processor. We are working to identify the issue as quickly as possible and have received confirmation from Paymentech that they are experiencing issues and are actively investigating, however they are unable to provide an ETA on resolution at this time.

We will continue to monitor this issue and work with Paymentech until we have a confirmed resolution in place.

Aaaand it's gone. There isn't a single mention of it in the press, either. Huge portion of the US couldn't do credit card transactions for a few hours and...nothing.

The best PR money can buy...

About 4 hours ago today, I was trying to pay for food with my Chase card. It wasn't working even though I input the card information correctly. I strongly suspect it was related to this outage.

For some reason, I was able to bypass the Chase issue by using Apple Pay (in app).
