Citibank's online banking site was down all day yesterday for some readers. Some folks were told a server went down, others were told it was a system upgrade. The site is supposed to be back up today.

worked yesterday...
Worked for me yesterday, but they have had a message up for about a week that they are going to have a new look, and few websites pull off a new look without some hitches.
april fools?
No bank does a system upgrade in the middle of the day especially on a week day.
@bsalamon:
That would be ridiculously unprofessional of them, I doubt it.
Umm..didn't work for me for a long time yesterday. I didn't call to find out why, just waited and rechecked last night and it was working then.
I tried from around 7am PT to 6pm and it never worked for me once. I just thought it was their April Fools Day joke on me. I didn't call in yesterday, but my account works fine today. Takes a little longer to load though.
@AbsoluteIrrelevance:
call in, ask to be transferred to E-services
@dazzlezak: Ooo, I wouldn't ask for that department!
The site's been buggy for days now (the login page just kept refreshing every time I tried to log in), and I called to ask when the site would be back up. The e-services rep kept me on the phone for 15 minutes, asking me to look for specific cookies to delete - none of which existed. It worked after I deleted all cookies with "citi" in the name. Then yesterday I couldn't log in all day. It seems to work now. Seriously, how hard is it to make sure a site works *before* installing an upgrade?
