SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Computer failures kept Wells Fargo & Co. customers from completing branch transactions or using debit cards, the U.S. bank said Monday.
The disruptions, which began Sunday, disabled the nation's fifth-largest bank's electronic operations "across the Wells Fargo enterprise," a spokeswoman told United Press International.
Online and phone banking have been restored, spokeswoman Julia Tunis told UPI, "but customers may continue to experience transaction difficulties or delays in our stores, at (automated teller machines) and at the point-of-sale, conducting wire and (automated clearing house) transfers, and processing for some mortgage, home equity, student loans and remittances."
She did not say how many customers or ATMs were affected by the malfunction, nor did she say when the problems would be fixed.
"Our systems teams are working to fix those problems and we hope to have all channels fully available soon," she said.
Wells Fargo, of San Francisco, has more than 6,062 retail branches and about 23 million customers.
