The impact of the disruption of digital banking services of DBS and Citibank on Oct 14 was “wide”, said Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan. Up to 810,000 attempts to access the digital banking platforms of both banks are estimated to have failed between 2.54pm on Oct 14 and 4.47am on Oct 15.
