    Was just about to post that.
    Coincidence, eh?
    Maybe BOI were taking precautionary measures?

    Not if you tell them you don't live in Germany, as I understand it. Just bring proof of your address in Ireland.

    There's a long and winding thread about this on the Property Pin.

    When the seagulls go to the ATM, it's because they think sardines will be dispensed into the street.

    Banks use multiple datacentres with a huge degree of redundancy. You could literally drop a bomb on one and the system would keep functioning, because all the data is kept in several locations, and whichever one handles a request - ATM withdrawal, bank transfer, direct debit or whatever - automatically sends the data to the others. If they don't respond, it keeps it until they do.

    For everything to go down, to me, is inexplicable. They have multiple data connections, multiple power sources, multiple parallel servers, which allow one (or several) of them to be taken off-line without impacting users.

    Conspiracy theory ahead - maybe they did this so nobody could withdraw their money like Mr Cantona suggested?

    Think something similar happened AIB a few years back, so it isn't unheard of.

    Despite all of this, it seems they've missed a single point of failure somewhere.....

    I bet one of the cleaning staff just unplugged the server so they could hoover.

    They'll get it back working in no time.

    While they certainly will have a backup datacentre, it's also possible that the systems in this are offline until required (different banks will operate different policies on this front). It could quite easily take a full working day to roll over from one datacentre to another even if the systems are up to date but not readily available. What I heard earlier on was that their mainframe was off the air, that will effectively bring many of the banks other systems to the point of uselessness. It's unfortunate, but it is also explicable.

    [edit]
    Don't work for BOI, just trying to point out how, even with DR systems in place, an entire banking system can appear off air. Obviously, the timescale for recovery I mentioned above is an example, and nothing to do with BOI or their policies/timeframes.

    You're not fooling anyone mate. That exactly what somebody who wants to clear out their account before the rest of us would say.
