A third-party power grid disruption caused intermittent transaction failures at Worldpay on Tuesday, preventing contactless and card payments at Tesco stores, pubs, and other retailers. The incident coincided with England's World Cup group match against Ghana, producing more than 1,000 reported issues at Tesco and visible queues at cash machines. Worldpay stated that technical teams restored service to some platforms while continuing to address remaining authorization and tokenization errors.
