The company Nets, which offers payment solutions for various credit and debit cards, experienced operational problems on Friday morning across the entire Nordic market, including Sweden, reports the Danish news agency Ritzau.

According to the company's Nordic press chief Peter Glüsing Pedersen, the problems concerned payment solutions using mobile phones.

If you try to pay with virtual cards in your smartphone wallet, some of the transactions will be rejected. If you have a physical card, you will likely be able to pay, he said to TT in the morning.

The problems occurred at 7 am and were resolved by 9:30 am. Exactly what caused the problem is unclear, but it is likely due to an internal error.
