Scotiabank Customers Report Not Receiving Payroll Deposits.

Thousands of Bank of Nova Scotia customers have reported issues with their online banking services, specifically problems with receiving payroll deposits. The outage monitoring website Downdetector listed around 5,000 reports of Scotiabank issues, with about 90% of those related to deposit problems. The bank has acknowledged the technical issue and is actively working to resolve it, apologizing for any inconvenience caused. They have also stated that they will refund any fees incurred by customers as a result of the problem. Last week, several Canadian banks experienced disruptions due to a faulty update to a widely used cybersecurity program, but Scotiabank appears to be the only one currently experiencing a spike in banking service problems.
