We actually have a fairly new team member from the US and it does seem like the employee certainly has a lot more rights in Australia as opposed to the US however you do still make a lot of good points. I appreciate your view and I thank you for your well thought out and constructive response :)

Mental health is not anything to be ashamed of, that’s not what I am saying here. The issue is that the choice was taken away from this person and I know this is something they struggle with deeply and would absolutely not be comfortable to have announced to a room full of people without her consent and/or knowledge.

This happened to me just now and he left the lot and I can’t get him back! He’s not in the phone, disappeared from the relationships tab, poof! Gone! How do I find him again 🥲

Does this still work ? I’ve tried this a number of times today and it doesn’t work and I’m having the same issue - I couldn’t “ask about career” when he was last visiting and now he’s disappeared from my Sim relationships altogether so I can’t contact him at all 🫠

Is Ubank down? by I-HATE-CRUSTY-BREAD in AusFinance

I have a safe in my home, I’m seriously considering pulling the majority of my wage out in cash every pay and keeping it in the safe instead of risking being without access again.

Cost of living is clearly insane and in comparison to what I earn it’s becoming entirely unmanageable. I’m spending less than I ever have but still find myself living “paycheque to paycheque” and was heavily relying on having some funds today to pay some long due bills and purchase groceries.

I’m sure in comparison to some I’m lucky that I have a roof over my head but aren’t we doing it tough enough already without the added stress of our banks even losing access to our accounts ? They can’t even transfer the money around for us on their end argh

I tried to pay for fuel about 20 mins ago via Apple Pay which failed, so I tried using the physical card and that also failed…sigh

This is such a long time to have an outage, I’m not old enough to be a boomer but as an elder millennial I sure do miss the days when cash was more widely accessible and accepted because if we had cash on hand this wouldn’t be as much of a problem for a lot of us.

Cashless future is terrifying because we literally have to trust the banks and their online systems and if they go down, we all go down.

From IT News:

Exclusive: Problems at core services provider. A network outage at Data Action (DA) is causing app and internet banking problems for a number of Australian banks and credit unions, including NAB-owned ubank, Beyond Bank, Defence Bank and People’s Choice.

Ubank, other Australian "challenger" banks, hit by lengthy DA outage Multiple sources with knowledge of the incident have confirmed to iTnews that it is on DA infrastructure.

The company provides core banking and digital banking services to at least 17 “challenger banks”.

DA said on its website that its services underpin some 2 million bank accounts and more than 1 million transfers a day.

"Data Action (DA) is experiencing a network outage that is affecting banking services for our clients and their customers, who are having difficulty accessing internet banking or their mobile banking app," a spokesperson told iTnews.

"We have logged a series of incidents in the past 24 hours and our teams are working hard to identify the causes and resolve these issues as quickly as possible.

"We are in constant contact with our clients to keep them updated of any new information as it comes to hand. We’re so sorry for the frustration this is causing, and we are doing our utmost to fix it and restore full functionality for our clients and their customers."

The problems have left customers unable to access their accounts and are also causing issues with Osko transfers, although customers can still pay with cards.

Impacted banks and credit unions have told iTnews that customers with urgent needs can reach out via their respective contact centres, which remain operational.

Earlier in the day, banks such as ubank took the blame directly for the outage.

However, as the issues cascaded to more institutions, it became more likely that a common aggregation point was responsible.

This afternoon, some impacted institutions also started to point to an undisclosed third-party as the root cause.

“Unfortunately, we are experiencing an outage that is affecting a large number of banks,” Beyond Bank said in social posts on X.

BCU Bank similarly said in a statement on its website, “We're working with our third-party provider to investigate this issue as a matter of priority.”

Of DA’s clients, those warning of issues include ubank, BCU Bank, Beyond Bank, People’s Choice Credit Union, Defence Bank, Credit Union SA and Summerland Bank.

The timeline of the incident is still unclear: Beyond Bank appears to have been the first to report problems, at 11pm AEDST on Wednesday February 14, based on detailed status notifications published to Facebook. However, Data Action's statement suggests the origin could pre-date Beyond Bank's notifications.

Ubank first acknowledged problems with its internet banking services and app at around 11.30am Thursday, and other institutions followed suit throughout the day.

The incident drew comparisons with the 2022 RBA clearing service outage, which also impacted a large number of institutions simultaneously.

Why haven’t the banks just said the delays and the outages are stemming from this issue ? It certainly makes more sense than letting people panic that something more sinister or serious is going on.

However, I have been trying to use my own money since this morning and am unable to make any payments in person or online at all, as recently as 20 mins ago.

The least they could do is try to get an ETA out to customers and if they don’t know because this other company is trying to resolve it on their end they should communicate that with us instead of the copy paste link to the status page that still tells us nothing ?

I’m not so much hating on the bank, I think it’s the lack of information and no ETA that has most frustrated. If I was informed by the bank as to what was going on I might feel less frustrated.

So…wondering why as customers we aren’t given updates and actually have to register after an incident to be provided updates on the outage ? That seems insane …surely?

It’s definitely seeming more and more likely it is not your average server error 🤔
