BB&T Fiasco

Was anyone effected by the BB&T outage that happened last Thursday and went on until Tuesday? 

 

One of their data centers went down causing transactions not to post. So no direct deposits, payments, bill pay, etc. Nothing.

Re: BB&T Fiasco

I was concerned about it. I had just paid off several credit cards that morning. I was worried that the payments would bounce back. I was happy to find that over the weekend, everything cleared fine and I didn't have any fees or bounced payments. I'm just lucky that I received my tax return two days before the outage and payday was one day before the outage so my money was already in the bank.

 

I did follow the BB&T FB to read the comments. It was pretty intense.

This is why I keep funds at both a bank and credit union, so I’m not locked out of my money.  I don’t bank there anymore, but my mom does.  Luckily they removed all the duplicate charges.
