Banks, ATMs, debit purchases, and credit cards
We can confirm that there is an ongoing Rogers outage affecting all financial institutions, and causing interruptions in Interac services, BMO’s toll-free numbers and the processing of transactions. Efforts are underway to resolve this as quickly as possible. Thank you.^LJ https://t.co/jPvcahkW5R

Interac service is also experiencing issues nationwide, so if you’re looking to purchase something using a debit card, you may be out of luck.
When it comes to credit cards, many users are reporting issues with Visa access.
Transit services across Canada
Heads up: some parts of our system are being affected by this morning’s network outage. Fares can not be purchased using debit and credit and E-tickets may be unavailable.

In Vancouver, anyone who tops up their Compass Card using a debit card at a station is out of luck. Compass machines are currently only accepting cash. TransLink text service is also unavailable.
Edmonton Transit Service is also experiencing service issues. Real-time info is unavailable.
In Toronto, some GO Transit services are down, including the inability to purchase fares using debit and credit and E-tickets being unavailable.
The outage has even caused some problems at Toronto Pearson Airport, and is causing issues for the Calgary Stampede.
911 service
Since 2 am, E-Comm has been having intermittent issues with service, specifically for Rogers and Fido customers. The only alternative until service is restored is to use a landline.
Rogers has yet to provide a timeline on when affected users can expect a resolution or the specific cause of this outage.
