Bank of America Services Down Across U.S."},"content":{"rendered":"

According to some, the need for Bitcoin (BTC) and decentralized digital money was just validated as a financial institution in the U.S. has suddenly gone offline.<\/p>\n

Over the past hour, reports have flooded in from thousands of Twitter users, including an NBC reporter, regarding Bank of America’s services. These users, which again, count in the thousands, have said that they are unable to access the institution’s services, both online and in the real world. Both the firm’s login portal for clients and ATMs are claimed by Bank of America clients to be down.<\/p>\n

“Looks like all online account services for Bank of America are currently offline or not allowing logins. This is the first I’ve seen a major bank have an outage like this,” an individual wrote, adding that there is no clear way to tell if the bank is seeing a service outage.<\/p>\n

The US Banking system is fine — you should only worry about systemic risks if you live in Lebanon, Chile, Hong Kong, Turkey, Greece, etc. <\/p>\n

(Meanwhile, all @BankofAmerica<\/a> ATMs, websites and customer service numbers are currently down). https:\/\/t.co\/N37R5NGXqL<\/a><\/p>\n
