From an IT guy. "I'm a BofA IT worker and can tell you there is a large event going down this weekend.
They're implementing what they're calling the "October Release".
My understanding is that this is a software and systems upgrade which is somehow tied into the FED and their regulations.
If this is a Federal Reserve activity, that would explain why ALL banks and credit unions are involved. We've been on a change lockdown for the past week and threatened with our jobs if we **** anything up.
We'll have to wait and see what happens on Monday, but I wouldn't read too much doom into this. We do this several times a year".
Others are posting on his blog what they are experiencing online and at their banks worldwide.
edited to add that I just checked my bank online and it seems to be working fine.
