schwit1 shares a report from The Independent: Thousands of Bank of America customers reported trouble accessing their bank accounts Wednesday afternoon as the financial institution faced a widespread outage. On social media, customers said they could not view their account balances. Those who could view their accounts said they were met with an alarming $0 balance. For many, a “Connection Error” message popped up while trying to log into the banking app. The message said it was “unable to complete your request” and asked the user to “try again later.”
By 1:15 p.m. Eastern Time, nearly 20,000 customers said they were having trouble, according to Downdetector, which reports web outages. That number dropped before rising again around 2:45 p.m. ET. It is unclear what caused the outage
