Yep. I even tried VPN... Oh, and Downdetector is indicating the same... Shame, I pity those who needs to pay their employees/staff today...
@rpm @Jamie McKane Can someone investigate into this? This stuff should NOT be happening right now, especially today. Maybe DDoS attack? Cool Ideas was hit a few days ago. Or is the servers overloaded?

App seems to always say that regardless of connectivity issues. I suspect either overload ( being psuedo month-end ) or a break\attack. It was fine this morning between 8 and 9, also a silly time to do maintenance on a banking system.

This is becoming a joke. Do they have any "redundant systems"?? Seems like not to be the case... Banking systems should run 24/7/365, no excuses, unless there is a big problem requiring taking down systems for maintenance...

Not really fine then either. At 8.30 am it was slow as crap and throwing timeouts while trying to view transaction history. Then later became impossible to even login in.
