CNN
A “technical issue” of a third-party vendor that Capital One uses is affecting some of the bank’s customers to access deposits and other services.
Problems with a third-party vendor that Capital One uses are affecting some bank customers’ ability to access money online and igniting anger on social media. The bank said in a statement to CNN that a “technical issue experienced by a third-party vendor” has “temporarily impacted” some of Capital One’s services, including payment processing, deposits and its consumer, small business and commercial banks. As of Friday afternoon, the company said on X it was still working to address the issue. Beginning Thursday and continuing Friday, thousands of users are reporting problems on Downdetector, a website that monitors outages. Capital One’s support account on X also has been flooded with complaints, several using explicit language, from people not being able to pay bills or access money. “We are actively working with the vendor to resolve the issue and apologize to our customers for this inconvenience,” a Capital One spokesperson said. Users of the Capital One app are greeted with a message saying it’s “currently experiencing technical issues” and that it’s “working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.”
Los Angeles was already in a housing crisis before the wildfires consumed large parts of the county: There weren’t enough homes to keep up with demand, making it one of the least affordable real estate markets in the country. Now, the word “crisis” fails to capture the situation on the ground. Thousands of people suddenly need homes. And thousands of homes are suddenly ash.
