ANZ customers strapped for cash after online disaster

ANZ customers have been left stranded, without access to their own money, after the bank’s online and phone banking services crashed today.

Customers are having severe problems accessing their accounts and are experiencing issues paying for transactions over $200 using ANZ bank cards or withdrawing more than $200 from ATMS.

The bank’s internet banking, app and goMoney facilities have been down since this morning.

Many customers are being forced to go to branches to withdraw money over the counter.

It’s not known when services will be back up and running.
