DBS said that all their banking services, including DBS/POSB digibank and DBS PayLah!, were back to normal on Sunday morning (Oct 15) after an outage that began on Saturday afternoon.
“However, any customer who may still experience difficulties logging into their accounts via their mobile app can try to log in with digibank online/ internet banking using SMS OTP,” the bank said.
“We are also aware that some of our customers’ PayNow/FAST transactions were interrupted when the disruption happened, and will be processing these with utmost priority.
“We will update customers on the status of these transactions when processing has been completed.”
DBS had said on Saturday that the service disruption, which began at about 3pm on Saturday, was caused by an issue at a data centre that is also used by various other organisations.
In response to CNA’s queries, DBS’ data centre provider Equinix said it was aware of a “technical issue” at one of its data centres, but the issue had been resolved.
It added that it was in contact with the impacted customers and conducting an investigation into the incident.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore said it was following up closely with the banks as they work towards resuming their services and providing timely communications and support to affected customers.
Complaints from customers started streaming in on Saturday afternoon after they found that they could not access online and mobile banking services.
