  1. identified Jul 15, 2026, 08:01 AM UTC

    Card payments requiring 3DS authentication are experiencing elevated declines since 08:00 BST due to an upstream 3DS authentication provider issue; non-3DS flows unaffected; provider engaged.

  2. identified Jul 15, 2026, 08:11 AM UTC

  3. identified Jul 15, 2026, 08:19 AM UTC

    Customers may experience intermittent authentication failures when attempting Mastercard 3DS-secured transactions. This may result in some transactions being declined or unable to complete authentication. Based on information provided by Mastercard, the issue originates within the Mastercard Identity Check (3DS) service. Mastercard has confirmed they are actively investigating the incident. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely and will provide further updates as more information becomes available from Mastercard.

  4. monitoring Jul 15, 2026, 08:29 AM UTC

    As of 09:10 BST, error volumes have dropped significantly and remained stable.

We will provide a further update as soon as we have confirmation from Mastercard that the issue is fully resolved.

  6. resolved Jul 15, 2026, 09:28 AM UTC

    We have now received confirmation from Mastercard that the 3DS issue has been resolved.
