They claimed that they were trying their best to head to their backup data centre and assured customers that they could expect services to go online progressively from 7pm.

Meanwhile, customers can visit the bank’s physical branches (except those at Tampines Central, Tampines One and White Sands due to relocation and renovation) for assistance.

DBS continues to seek everyone’s patience while they try to resolve the issues and assures users that all monies remain safe.

A check on Downdetector at the time of writing shows that complaints about disruptions to various services and platforms like WhatsApp and Citibank also spiked in recent hours.
