Bank of America Customers Hit with Major Access Issues
It was a challenging day for many Bank of America customers on Wednesday, as they reported **significant trouble** accessing their accounts. The issues began popping up around 12:45 PM ET, according to a surge of reports shared on Downdetector, a site well-known for tracking outages.
Account Balances Disappear
Numerous customers found themselves unable to view their **account balances**, which understandably caused quite a bit of concern. Even those who managed to log in were in for a rude awakening; many reported their account balances were displaying as **zero**. This was no small matter, with one individual describing the shocking discovery of five accounts totaling more than **$20,000** showing absolutely nothing.
A couple facing this issue had a particularly puzzling situation. One partner could not log into their account at all, while the other did manage to get in, only to find their accounts showing the same alarming zero balance. Talk about frustrating!
Interestingly enough, some customers noted that while their **account balances** were nowhere to be found, their outstanding debts still popped up, lending a strange sense of reality to an otherwise confusing experience.
Temporary Unavailability Mysterious Message
Some users did catch sight of a message regarding their account balances. It read that the **current balance for one or more accounts may be temporarily unavailable**. While this may provide a bit of assurance that the issue is likely not permanent, it left folks feeling uneasy regarding their financial standing.
