According to DownDetector, issues suffered by users affect both online banking and mobile banking, and the website’s outage map shows spikes in all major centres.
Users on both Twitter and DownDetector said they were unable to purchase airtime as a result of these issues. I cannot buy any data. It keeps on saying the service is temporarily unavailable since 06:00 am this morning. So now I’m stuck without any data,” said one user.
Another user said that they were unable to access FNB’s trading platform. Same story again… cannot access share trading platform on online banking. One user said that they have been unable to transfer money from their loan because of the issues. My problem I have is I’m trying to transfer money from my revolving loan on the bank app and it keeps saying from Friday that system is unavailable,” the user said.
“It’s very frustrating because I need access to these funds. Suddenly I log in the next morning and it says R0 balance available. I was relying on that money this month,” the user added.
