• October 2024 – Major Multi-Day Outage: Online and mobile banking across Westpac Group (including BankSA) were disrupted for three days. Suspected DDoS cyber attack caused intermittent access. No customer data or funds were compromised. Services restored after intensive IT response.
  
  
• Routine Maintenance & Minor Glitches: BankSA occasionally performs scheduled upgrades (overnight/weekend), leading to short downtime. Minor issues like login failures or ATM glitches are usually resolved within hours.
  
  

Common Causes:

• Technical faults (server errors, software bugs).
  
  
• Planned maintenance.
  
  
• External disruptions (cyber attacks, internet failures).
  

• Minor Outages: Usually resolved within a few hours.
  
  
• Planned Maintenance: Typically 2–6 hours with services restored as scheduled.
  
  
• Major Outages: Rare but may last half a day or more. The October 2024 incident lasted several days, though such events are exceptional.
  
  

BankSA’s IT and incident response teams work 24/7, often restoring services before most customers are aware.
