Bank of America customers in the US reported on Wednesday that they were having trouble gaining access to their accounts, but the apparent glitch has been largely fixed, according to a report.
In a statement to CNN, Bank of America acknowledged that “some clients are experiencing an issue accessing their accounts and balance information today”.
“These issues are being addressed and have largely been resolved,” Bank of America said. “We apologise for any inconvenience.”
There was a surge in reports about Bank of America on Downdetector, a website where users can report cuts to different sites and services, at about 12.45pm ET, and reports were still being filed as of 7pm.
Customers reported problems with online and mobile banking. Some found they were unable to sign in and others reported they were able to log on but were startled to see their balances at $0.
“Both mobile app and online banking are still down. I can't pay my credit card bill,” one user wrote. Another said: “This is unacceptable, I have transactions needed to be done and my account is – [$0].”
Users reported on Downdetector that, although they could not gain access to their accounts, they were still able to use their debit cards. Bank of America did not detail what had caused the problem and it is not known when all systems will be fully back to normal.
No more lice
Defining head lice
Pediculus humanus capitis are tiny wingless insects that feed on blood from the human scalp. The adult head louse is up to 3mm long, has six legs, and is tan to greyish-white in colour. The female lives up to four weeks and, once mature, can lay up to 10 eggs per day. These tiny nits firmly attach to the base of the hair shaft, get incubated by body heat and hatch in eight days or so.
Identifying lice
Lice can be identified by itching or a tickling sensation of something moving within the hair. One can confirm that a person has lice by looking closely through the hair and scalp for nits, nymphs or lice. Head lice are most frequently located behind the ears and near the neckline.
Treating lice at home
Head lice must be treated as soon as they are spotted. Start by checking everyone in the family for them, then follow these steps. Remove and wash all clothing and bedding with hot water. Apply medicine according to the label instructions. If some live lice are still found eight to 12 hours after treatment, but are moving more slowly than before, do not re-treat. Comb dead and remaining live lice out of the hair using a fine-toothed comb.
After the initial treatment, check for, comb and remove nits and lice from hair every two to three days. Soak combs and brushes in hot water for 10 minutes.Vacuum the floor and furniture, particularly where the infested person sat or lay.

Heavily-sugared soft drinks slip through the tax net
Some popular drinks with high levels of sugar and caffeine have slipped through the fizz drink tax loophole, as they are not carbonated or classed as an energy drink.
Arizona Iced Tea with lemon is one of those beverages, with one 240 millilitre serving offering up 23 grams of sugar - about six teaspoons.
A 680ml can of Arizona Iced Tea costs just Dh6.
Most sports drinks sold in supermarkets were found to contain, on average, five teaspoons of sugar in a 500ml bottle.
