Mastercard users were having difficulty making payments and purchases online this morning. 

Down Detector users reported a large spike in issues with Mastercard in the US, UK, Japan and France just after 9am local time UK. 

According to the online outage-monitoring website, over 100 users had their payments declined on Sunday morning, receiving an "error" message from the global tech company.

Users took to social media to complain about the loss of services, with one person writing: "I'm trying to make a purchase on Amazon [but] I can't because [the] payment keeps declining when there's plenty of money in my account."

Mastercard has been contacted for comment.
