SINGAPORE: DBS Bank said on Thursday (Nov 25) that its digital banking services have returned to normal after an "unacceptable" two-day disruption.

The bank also assured its customers that its systems "remain secure" and were not the target of a cyberattack.

"Although our digital banking services have returned to normal, the inability to access an essential service over such an extended period of time is unacceptable," said the bank in a Facebook post.

Customer logins and transaction activities have returned to regular "business as usual" pre-disruption levels since Thursday morning, it added.

"We will continue to monitor and review the events of this week and are taking steps to prevent future recurrences."

"Once again, we recognise the gravity of the disruption," the bank said.

"We apologise for the inconvenience and anxiety caused."

Customers using Internet banking should also clear their browser cache before logging in again, said the bank.

He said that the bank had identified a problem with its access control servers on Tuesday and had been working "round the clock" with third-party engineering providers to fix the issue.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has said that it will consider “appropriate supervisory actions” after DBS' investigation into the disruption.
