Glitch at ANZ sours recent tech upgrade

ANZ has been hit by a major widespread outage which locked customers out of their online accounts for over two hours today. This comes just days after the bank confidently announced that it was launching a significant upgrade to its internet banking platform designed to simplify its online offerings.

ANZ Bank suffered an extended internet banking outage on Monday which began mid-morning and extended into the late afternoon following a revamp of its internet banking system.

The bank's goMoney app and internet banking platform were affected by the outage, which started about 11am (AEDT). goMoney was back up and running by 1pm.

While the desktop internet banking platform came back online about 4pm, many customers complained that they could still not complete transfers and that it was slow to use.
