Capital One says a ‘technical issue’ is affecting some customers’ ability to get money

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.”

President Donald Trump and his advisers said this was the plan all along: Scare the bejesus out of the world by announcing astronomically high tariffs, get countries to come to the negotiating table, and — with the exception of China — back away from the most punishing trade barriers as America works out new trade agreements around the globe.

If paying $1,000 for a new iPhone already sounded expensive, consumers should brace for even greater sticker shock later this year. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign goods – specifically those sourced from China – are expected to heighten the prices of everyday tech products, from iPhones to laptops, cars and even smaller gadgets like headphones and computer mice.

The US stock market, fresh off its third-best day in modern history, is sinking back into reality: Although President Donald Trump paused most of his “reciprocal” tariffs, his other massive import taxes have already inflicted significant damage, and the economy won’t easily recover from the fallout.
