Fifth Third Bank says their network issue is being “gradually restored” Friday afternoon.
A representative from the corporate social responsibility department, Danielle Jones, confirmed Fifth Third did experience a temporary issue with their connectivity on Friday. The issues caused disruptions for customers trying to use ATMs and other services.
The bank said they are working as quickly as possible to resolve the issue, and Jones said that connectivity is being “gradually restored.” Jones did not give a further timeline indicating when the network will fully return to normal.
At 1:35 p.m. Friday, the bank tweeted about the network issue and wrote: “We are experiencing an issue with our network. We are working as quickly as possible to restore service for our affected customers, and we apologize for the inconvenience.”
Bank customers replied to the Tweet and shared complaints and problems they’ve been experiencing Friday.
