Customers have taken to social media to share their disbelief when they checked their bank accounts on Jan. 18, due to an alleged outage impacting the systems of Bank of America and Zelle.

According to Downdetector, claims of Zelle’s outage increased drastically starting at 7 a.m. EST.

“So, I woke up to find hella Zelle deposits missing from my Bank of America account. When I called customer service they said ‘due to extenuating circumstances we cannot take your call’ and the phone hung up,” writer Gennette Cordova tweeted.

So cool how @BankofAmerica magically disappeared a large Zelle transaction that HAD ALREADY POSTED and I had used to pay bills. Now I’m extremely in debt in my checking and I can’t get ahold of them. Unbelievable.

There’s a Bank of America issue where zelle transfers after 1/9 arent being reflected in the balances of ur bank account. I almost lost my mind when I saw $2,000 was missing from my account.

Not accepting calls because of “extenuating circumstances” is insane. CALL ME!!!
