Card payments suspended tonight

Credit/debit card transactions and online banking services will be suspended from 11pm tonight until 5am tomorrow morning due to system upgrades.

This is bad news for businesses operating during these hours, notably bars, nightclubs, fast food outlets and taxi operators.

“This is at the very peak of our card transaction activities, so obviously it puts us in a difficult position,” says Sunneva Háberg Eysturstein, who runs Tórshavn’s Sirkus and Landskrona bars.
