Ever since their supposed security upgrades, BPI Bank has been offline for more than 24 hours now.

ATMs do not allow withdrawals or even balance inquiries.

Even OTC transactions are limited to deposits only.

This is quite disconcerting for people like me who depend on online payments to do business. I've already lost some money because of this not so minor inconvenience.

Does anybody have any solid info on what's going on? Tried asking bank personnel but they keep saying the same rehearsed lines.
