Five major Canadian banks went offline for hours blocking access to online and mobile banking as well as e-transfers for customers.
The banks reportedly hit by the outage include Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), BMO (Bank of Montreal), Scotiabank, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).
Reports of users having trouble getting to their online banking peaked between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, although BleepingComputer is continuing to see an influx of these reports into today:
RBC customer Andrew Currie reported having "no access to my money at the grocery store" and being stuck in the checkout line for half an hour due to the outage.
BMO customers also saw the bank's "Global Money Transfer service" being down "all day" with transfers getting auto-rejected for no obvious reason. A BMO representative directed such customers to reach out to the customer service.
CIBC didn't acknowledge any issues with their online banking.
TD Bank's mobile banking app reportedly locked users out, with customer service representatives responding that they "haven't been advised of recent issues with our online service through EasyWeb."
A TD Bank spokesperson told BleepingComputer that TD Bank did not experience any widespread system outage or issue.

Tell ya what, though... shit just got real.
BANK Outages at all big 5 Canuck banks!
Trudeau has crushed consumer confidence in the banks in less than 48 hours. Some ATMs are still allowing cash to be pulled out but going empty.
The bank has now locked up EVERYONES funds due to a massive run on the banks.
Yeah, I believe Travis McGee consistently said that shit gets real when cards stop working.
Ping
It is called a Bank Run. No mystery, they do not have enough cash on hand to cash out the accounts of their patrons.
Go Thank Trudeascaeo
..... and they just stopped working.
Oh, BTW, the US government wants to have access to all our bank accounts, wants to eliminate cash, and wants to ban cryptocurrency.
Heck after this, I *totally* trust them. What could go wrong?
Almost like he wanted this to happen. Couldn't have done a better job of triggering a run.
Biden destroying US economy. Trudeau “hold my wine spritzer”.
I’m looking at everything going on through the lens of “this is being done on purpose.” So far, I’ve not been surprised. I think half the world is asleep, and the other half-1 is suffering from normalcy bias.
The emergency dictatorship is in full swing
Ya funny how when you threaten to freeze some peoples bank accounts just for how they believe, EVERYONE gets a little nervous.
You can bet whether someone supported the truckers or not, they absolutely were concerned about their money in the bank.
They messed with the software....
The banks have now locked up EVERYONE’S funds due to a massive run on the banks.
The Great Communist Reset. Time for Trudeau to visit Alert.
Prime Minister Screwdeau: “If your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended.”
Yawn. No surprises from Screwdeau. Guy’s so predictable......a real yawner.
It’s what they did in Warsaw Pact countries. Classic Communist MO.
If you merely express an opinion a commie doesn’t like,
<><>your bank account is frozen.
<><>your insurance policies are nullified.
I guess trusting, lovable ol’ Biden willingly signed a
WP-era, “Treaty of Friendship”.....with his Canadian buddy.
After seeing the glee with which Canada is seizing bank accounts I pulled cash oit of mine and buried it in pickle jars out back. We can be certain President Chomo is going to issue such orders for we Americans.
Maybe the banks blackmailed the wrong group.
If you have a Canadian bank account get your money out fast. No doubt FR posting is grounds for confiscation.
Yep, Ms. and I have been building up a cash reserve, the bank only holds enough funds to manage bills.
We are in the US but over a year ago realized the banks are a liability.
What is our extradition agreement with Canada?
EVERYBODY TAKE YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANK!!!
PASS IT ON!!!
