A TECHNICAL glitch in DBS' banking system caused a breakdown of its entire online banking services on Monday morning, sparking much anger and frustration among its customers who could not make Internet transactions at its branches or draw money from both DBS and POSBank ATMs islandwide.
DBS has the most extensive network of 81 branches and more than 900 ATMs in Singapore, including those belonging to POSB.
The breakdown was reported as early as 6.30 am on Monday.

An update on the DBS website said DBS and POSB ATMs will be 'available progressively', while all DBS, POSB and Treasures branches are now up and operational. It added that it is still working on restoring other services, including credit card services, internet and mobile banking.
Scores of frustrated and irate DBS and POSB customers vented their anger online, some complaining that they visited as many as five different ATMs but were left cashless and unable to top up their cash cards to pay for ERP.
