Bank Of America Locks Out Its Online Clients For Second Day In A Row
No, this is not due to everyone pulling their money online at the same time. Uh uh. Not at all. Nosireebob. And no, those rumors that BofA will charge you $4.99 to access your account online are just that - rumors. At least for now.
Luckily, if you want to access your online account, you can. Oh wait, we meant to say you can't.

My daughter has an account there. Just tried to sign on and it is unavailable.
It's actually worse than I thought:
.
Read the fine print: "..... company reserves the right to close any part or all of the website for routine balance juggling and number jiggering"
"No customer information was compromised.".
Just sold to the highest bidder. : - )
I ended a 30 year involvement on last thursday and the little woman began to sever ties on saturday.
We both opened accounts with BECU.
Fuck you Buffet. Fuck you Mozilo. And fuck you Bank of America. There, I feel better.
So every time someone access their bank account online, BAC gets to buy back a share of their stock?
Won't let me in.
I started to get worried for a second but then I remembered I clear out my account every payday and buy gold.
what me worry
me too. i just use them to xfer $ to gainesville coins, provident metals, et al.
Bank Failure Bitchez!
BOA foreclosed on an anjoining property to mine 2 years ago. They have not done anything with the property. The weeds are so tall you can barely see the house now, so I went down to the court house to find out the status, last tax payment was 12 months ago...waiting to see if they make this years tax payment... ;)
Here was my latest and last Bank of America story. From the archives. http://thecivillibertarian.blogspot.com/2011/03/banana-bank-of-america-m...
@Rusty Shorts - Good luck on that tax lien certificate purchase. ;)
Rusty, SInce you already have the varmints moved in due to the overgrown lawn break a few windows - it will lower the value of the property for BOA and your varmint problem won't get any worse. Hell I'd throw in a road flare too.
You're probably looking at a 2 years wait for the property to be certified to the state. Then you're probably waiting another 2 years for it to be auctioned...
Check out your state commissioner of lands' website, or the equivalent. See what vintage they're selling in your county... my guess is it's either 2006 or 2007... keep your powder dry and don't fire til you see the whites of their eyes.
Rusty, I recommend you read up on Adverse Possession. At the rate things are going, you could end up owning the neighboring property free and clear, depending on what state you're in.
Not really... kind of a fruitless endeavor if anyone intervenes during your period of possession (e.g. tax authority, bank, popos, city for condemnation, home owners association, you name it). The tax sale route will net him the property more quickly and all the bozos who want to run their mouths can file a lawsuit if they want to object. Here anyway, you're looking at 7 years for adverse possession and only 4-5 for tax sale...
as long as the proper parties are notified, it's game on.
BOA is definately transferrings accts... just bought credit card business from FIA Card Svcs with transfer effective Oct 1. Not sure if this was all cc business or just the dead-beat customers that pay on time.
Just tried to get on (ine of our CCs ended up with them). Got this mnessage:
"
We apologize, but Online Banking is operating slower than usual.We are working to restore full service as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience
If you like, you can:
Continue Online Banking.
Access Merrill Lynch Online .
Find a Bank Of America ATM or branch."
Clicked "Continue Online Banking"
Answered a challenge question, got my sitekey, then screenw ent blank and 5 min. later has not changed.
Why would anyone for any reason bank with BAC C, etc. Just do not get that. When 95% of banking is online. Direct deposit of checks, some small banks have free ATM withdrawal from other banks. You can scan company checks on your computer, Iphone. What am I missing guys? This does not take a PHD like Krugman has to figure this out. You support a stinking thief, one that has robbed from millions and continues to rape every chance it gets.
Makes absolutely no sense except being "lazy".
+ 1000.
Who wants paper and digital vapor anyway?
"The U.S. Mint sold 112,000 ounces of American Eagle gold coins last month, the most since January."
"Gold is in the 11th consecutive year of its bull market, the longest in at least nine decades, after investors accumulated 2,236 metric tons of bullion in ETPs. That exceeds all except four central banks’ reserves, data compiled by Bloomberg show. HSBC Holdings Plc expects gold to average $2,025 next year, compared with $1,875 for platinum, an 8 percent premium."
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-22/gold-premium-over-platinum-seen...
cannot find platinum anywhere right now. got any leads on that?
and silver is a better "buy" than gold right now.
apmex...
And platinum has fallen farther than gold. It's more of an industrial indicator and gold is being bought by nations and central banks still:
Found this on GATA.org and also a Martin Armstrong interview is linked there to KingWorldNews.com:

Citi doesn't appear to working either.

try to select an account and you're rerouted to an adverstisement.
Normal BoA customer service, I see.
just a website and you make it a bad news......
does Ken Lewis still have access to his BOA online account ?
ha HA HA HA HA UH ! i HAVE A BAD START TODAY MONDAY, BUT I ADMIT , TYLER AND YOU PEOPLE, DOOM AND GLOOM TEXT MADE MY DAY , KEEP UP THEM UP-LIFTING TEXT!
You may call it doom and gloom. We call it reality.
indeed, it's only "doom and gloom" if your mindset needs that "happy happy" fix. . .
good lord man, it's called grammar, if you're going to yell here at least make an effort...
Too right.
He's texting via Teletype. Give the poor guy a break! :)
Tried to access ATM at BOA at local branch here in MASS on Friday.
The ATMs were not available; they all had the "blue screen of death".
The irony.
That would scare the shit out of me if I saw "temporarily unavailable" during banking hours. And this is an informed blog. What is wrong with you good people?
BAC a 5 handle today???
Fucking morons will likely add a $5.00 monthly charge to acces accounts online.
Douchebags!
there's that $5.98 print
Don't walk, run to your local BOA branch. AS FAST AS A LEOPARD.
But, But.. What about my free checking? Hal!? Hal!
S&P broke bad so I'm cracking open a cold one.
So seriously what will happen if BAC fails? I assume they will shutter their doors, bank holiday then what?
Can we have a serious discussion as this appears extremely likely?
1. The bank will be taken over;
2. History as our guide tells us the new owners of the bank will limit cash withdrawals to a max daily and monthly allowance;
3. It will be revealed that Bank of America was, indeed, the official Bank of America and that we are now all Warren Buffet's adopted step-children;
d) Anyone with a BOfA pension can get the fudge out.
I'm thinking nationaliation. Who would touch it with the Countrywide issues?
And what about ML? huge reduncencies loom.
Lots of rotating lights seen charging up Sixth, plunge protectiom team?

its almost an electronic bank holiday...this wont get BAC many romantic dates, imo.

You can still log on, just click the continue to online banking link. Its very slow.
QE3 is Coming brothers....... Put on your rally caps.
Actually, I believe the quote is: "If there is going to be a PANIC, be the first one to panic". I am not sure who said it either.
1970's = gas lines
2011 = ATM lines and online lines
Next up, as expected, ATM withdrawal daily limit shrink to $5
Not today. Hit BOA ATM for $400.
You shoulda put it under the PosturePedic in the first place. :-)
What and lose .01% per annum interest?
iphone App access is still available for BAC account.
There is absolutely NOTHING FUNNY about this.
It's mean spirited to snicker at BOA account holders.
It's like laughing at someone getting a colonoscopy without anesthesia.
Those BoA account holders should have closed their accounts 3 years ago.
Indeed, lack of preparation on their part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
When the avalanche wipes out the little village half way up the mountain, the people at the bottom of the mountain should not be saying to each other that the little village should not have been put there -- as the avalanche continues on its merry way.
Credibility Gap, dudes.
From the standpoint of a sysadmin, their site bankofamerica . com is up, but "selectively." On preview it's down semi-permanently again. Way, way TLRDR, but this is what seems to occur when it's back up:
Something deceptive happens after you land on their promo page. When you click "continue to Bankofamerica.com" over in the menu on the right, it says it's taking you to https ://www .bankofamerica. com, but it's really going to a strange "moving target" SSL server. My last attempt to log in to my California account appeared to htaccess hand my browser off to a honeypot server folder at a different IP.
Any TLS, but especially SSL is innately slower, and if run on a low-powered server, it can effectively throttle login requests back to oblivion. I have personally used this tactic to prevent an e-sale from killing the webstore's shopping server. Hand the request traffic to an SSL server somewhere over in Turkmenistan, and this bad boy's a 600MHz Pentium 3 running NT IIS off a ISDN in Ruslan's basement. Often, once the timeout threshold is reached, the SSL server shits the client's (your) browser out to "homepage temp. unavail." or whatever placeholder. And at least in IE 9, the client (you) gets a cookie that keeps sending you to https://notice.bankofamerica.com/content/enhanced-splash/html/home-splash-pagev2.html?bactoken=96190024099 until you do a full browser refresh on the root http not https site.
Just my 2 mercury dimes' worth.
There are a multitude of possible reasons why BofA was sucking wind. Maybe their F5 load balancers were on the Fritz, perhaps their SAN lost a controller, ISP has issues, who knows. I'm just glad it wasn't my problem. :D
As some who has worked in IT for a long time I can say this much, the IT department didn't have a change control rollback plan or they didn't have a good disaster recovery plan.
I saw this over the weekend; cheerily clicked the "continue on to online banking" and paid bills. Did the author actually do any research before the post?
Great!!! thanks for sharing this information to us! sesli chat sesli sohbet
