This is a shame: Coop’s payment system goes on strike at the end of the day. Not all cards work, payment can only be made in cash. This is the information conveyed by reader reporters Blick from different parts of Switzerland. “This is not an issue with one bank, but all cards are affected,” Postfinance said when asked. He is in contact with Post’s subsidiary Coop.

The major Basel-based distributor confirmed the outage at Blick. “We are clarifying the matter with the payment provider Worldline,” says Coop spokesman Caspar Frey. Apparently there is also an issue with paying with Twint. There are long queues at the tills at the Coop branch at Stadelhofen train station, according to a reader reporter. “If you have money, you stand in line and pay cash,” the reader reporter told Blick.

Coop City announces over the loudspeaker: “Dear customers. Due to technical issues, you cannot currently pay with credit or debit cards. Thank you for your understanding.”

A check at Migros on Opernplatz in Zurich: digital payment works perfectly here. “No problem,” says a salesman. There are also indications that there are problems with digital payment transactions on the Alletreibung.ch platform. It looks like Coop has been stuck since early Thursday afternoon.
