Target said its payments vendor NCR experienced
an issue at one of its data centers on Sunday afternoon, which
affected the retailer's stores.
The incident was not related to Saturday's glitch, the company
said in an emailed statement, adding that the issue has now been
resolved and payments are going through.
The company had faced an outage on Saturday due to an "internal
technology issue" which stopped customers in the United States
from paying for in-store purchases.
The issue was not a security-related issue and no payment
information was compromised at any time, the retailer added.
A defect in a network device in June 2014 also caused problems
with Target's payment processing systems, according to media
reports.
