Scotiabank customers who were expecting to be paid on Friday are reporting on social media that their paycheques haven’t been deposited, and that the bank hasn’t addressed the issue┬аor made clear when the money will hit their accounts.
Clients’ inbound payments not being applied to accounts a technical issue, bank says
Scotiabank customers who were expecting to be paid on Friday are reporting on social media that their paycheques haven’t been deposited, and that the bank hasn’t addressed the issue┬аor made clear when the money will hit their accounts.
Downdetector, an online outage tracker, shows that users began reporting┬аproblems with Scotiabank mobile banking, online banking and depositing┬аon Friday morning. By 9:51 a.m. ET, nearly 4,800 users had reported an issue.
So it looks like every person in the country who banks with <a href=”https://twitter.com/scotiabank?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>@scotiabank</a> and was due to be paid today, was not. ItтАЩs a widespread outage, and Scotiabank has not said a word.<br><br>ThatтАЩs concerning to say the least.

Hey <a href=”https://twitter.com/scotiabank?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>@scotiabank</a> how about releasing everyoneтАЩs pay into their bank accounts, or at leave provide a statement as to why youтАЩre the only major bank in the country with this issue. Staying silent isnтАЩt very reassuring to your тАЬvaluedтАЭ clients.
