Bank of America has fully resolved a technical issue that disrupted account access for many customers on Wednesday. The problem, which impacted both mobile and online banking, left users unable to view their balances or access their accounts.

Account Access Issues Spike During Midday

The issue began around 1 p.m. ET, with users reporting difficulties accessing their accounts through both the Bank of America app and online banking. According to Downdetector, a website that tracks service outages, reports peaked with over 20,000 incidents logged.

In a statement released by the bank, Bank of America confirmed the disruption, stating, "Some mobile and online banking clients experienced an issue accessing their accounts and balance information earlier today. These technology issues have been fully resolved. We apologize for any inconvenience."

However, the bank did not disclose the specific cause of the outage.


Customers Report $0 Balances and Incomplete Access

During the outage, many Bank of America users took to social media and forums to express their frustration. Some customers reported seeing $0 balances, while others noted that their account information was outdated or inaccessible.

One user on Downdetector commented, “App not working and online banking shows yesterday's balance.” Another added, “Both the App and Browser access to BoA remain at least partially down for us. Can now see some of our accounts, but not all of them. And the transfer between accounts function remains non-functional for all accounts.”

Service Restored, but No Explanation for Outage

By the end of the day, Bank of America had successfully restored access to all accounts. Despite the resolution, the bank has not provided a detailed explanation for the technical issue, leaving some customers wary of future disruptions.
