My take away is: what does NAB stand for? I hope the furious customers settle down soon.

I believe the NAB are initials for the name of the Bank

It was down for two hours. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. My bank website has gone down for several hours, although it was scheduled, for maintenance.

Although in the article it appears it has happened before. That isn’t good and they need to fix that if it’s happening regularly.

Read somewhere we face a potential 'bank holiday' here where all the banks close for a day/week. Has not happened since this time--


The Bank Holiday of 1933 was a week-long period in March 1933 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt closed all banks in the United States to prevent bank failures and restore confidence in the financial system.
