Customers at PNC Financial Services on Tuesday were unable to access their online and mobile banking accounts for several hours because of an unspecified issue with the company’s technology.
At about 10 a.m., PNC announced on Twitter that it was having problems with its digital banking platforms. No additional details were provided, though the Pittsburgh company said in a separate tweet that its ATM and branch network were available for customers who needed to make deposits and withdrawals.
“We are currently experiencing a technology issue which may intermittently impact customer access to online banking,” the $371 billion-asset PNC said in a statement posted on its website. “Our teams are working to restore full access as soon as possible.”
