Update: TD Bank's statement regarding the outage added to bottom of the article.

TD Bank has recovered from a major IT systems outage today that prevented account holders from accessing their online bank accounts, use ATM, or check balances over the phone. 

The outage started at approximately 2 AM EST this morning and prevented TD Bank members from logging into their online accounts.

When attempting to do so, their systems displayed a message stating that the system was down "due to planned maintenance activity". This message appeared in both the mobile apps and when attempting to login via a desktop browser.

Reports from TD Bank members on Twitter indicate that this outage not only affected the customer online banking system, but also caused ATM outages and issues with phone services.

Something isn’t rite they can’t even confirm balance over the phone
