OCBC reports outage for all its banking services due to 'network issues'

SINGAPORE: All OCBC banking services were down on Monday (Aug 28) due to "network issues", said the bank on its website. 

The bank acknowledged the issues in a Facebook post at about 9.40am, saying that it is facing "technical problems with our systems impacting our banking channels", which include mobile and online banking, PayNow, ATMs, Velocity and cards.

An announcement on OCBC's website said that all banking services were down.

"We are experiencing network issues at the moment. All of our banking services are down," said OCBC.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience and are working to bring things back to normal."

Commenting on OCBC's Facebook post, some customers noted that their credit card payments were declined and that they were unable to withdraw cash.

One customer said in a comment in OCBC's Facebook post that her payment for an online doctor consultation could not go through.

Another said: "Have breakfast with a client, used credit card and then atm card to pay bills, all declined."

Several also said that it was embarrassing for them when their credit card transactions were declined. 

OCBC said that customers can still visit its branches for urgent transactions.

CNA has reached out to OCBC for more information.

That's why we cannot go completely online for payments. Must have ability to pay cash still.

Look at China. If someone wants to be devious, they can simply hack WeChat Pay or AliPay, and their whole economy system will be crippled.

Or just hack the telco networks. Remember when SingTel or M1 down? Netizen KPKB 😂 then online payment still not as frequently as today 😂

today SingTel down? Not just OCBC whoever uses SingTel network including the banks will be F big time 😂
 

sometimes all you need is someone bribe some/ groups in-house technicians or engineers whom have certain access to the network, store malware in the software system to screw the telco.

A dangerous world we are living in as we are taught to be dependent on digital world give up old school ways 😂

Want to go cashless must at least go with 2 banks, he depends on one bank and kpkb when the system goes offline.

But cashless is the new trend of the younger gen . when they run into shops or stalls that do no accept cashless payment,  they will  find someone who have cash and paynow that person in exchange for some cash. Similarly, they are ready to help each other in this manner.
