It appears that the whole of CardOne is down.
Note: CardOne also includes BetJamaica (I believe), Festiva Card, and many many others, not just BetCRIS.
F*ck, d*mn, I hope this is a technical glitch and not the end of accessible debit cards.
I have a card issued by NYCCU (North York Community Credit Union), presumably thru CardOne via another retailer (not CRIS), and I just got this message:
Dear xxxx,
xxx would like to advise all users that the temporary disruption of service from our external banking network, which was affecting all loads and new card activations, has been resolved. Card loading and activation are both available as per normal at this time.
Although this particular issue was unforeseen and beyond our control, xxx sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience this event may have caused. We are working with our providers to prevent any such issues in the future.
