Mastercard has resolved an issue after cardholders were unable to make online payments or purchases for a brief period Sunday morning.
Hundreds of cardholders in the U.S., United Kingdom, Japan, Italy and Australia were among those who began reporting issues early Sunday morning, according to DownDetector, a website that shows real-time overviews of issues and outages.
Mastercard told Fox Business Digital that there was an issue affecting some transactions, which has since been resolved.
