Bank of America outage: People complained about account balances

On Wednesday, people complained that their account balances were not visible on the app while others said they could access their accounts but that they were seeing a balance of $0.

“App not working and online banking shows yesterday's balance,” one user said on Downdetector.

“Both the App and Browser access to BoA remain at least partially down for us,” another user said. "Can now see some of our accounts, but not all of them. And the transfer between accounts function remains non-functional for all accounts."
