Over the past ten days, Tangerine Bank, a Canadian direct bank owned by Scotiabank, has experienced significant problems with its online banking system. Since February 10th, several Tangerine users have been claiming that they are unable to use their web wallet and the Tangerine app. Users have been unable to access their accounts due to error notices stating “no internet connection on the App” and “notification undefined on the web.”
A source claims that those who attempted to log in on Friday afternoon and were met with the notice “no internet connection” were the ones who discovered the problem.
According to our source, in the early hours of Friday, 17th February, 2023 the orange brand messaged back as follows: “Dear Valued Customer, We sincerely apologize for the challenges you have experienced performing transactions on our app channels over the last few days. We regret any inconveniences this may have caused and assure you that we are working tirelessly to restore our service. Thank you for your patience.”
