If you&#x27;re about to use your Visa card to pay for something in Europe, you may want to use cash instead.<p>Visa announced Friday that it&#x27;s experiencing a &quot;service disruption&quot; that is preventing transactions from going through. Right now, it seems like these problems are localized to the UK, Ireland and parts of Europe. Visa says it&#x27;s aware of the problem and developing a fix, which might be working already. Major UK bank HSBC claims that service is slowly returning.
