Concerns have been raised regarding difficulties accessing online banking services, preventing some customers from making necessary payments. One individual reported encountering repeated technical failures when attempting a transaction, noting that the mobile application initially displayed a “failed to connect to the banking service” message, which later changed to a general “error occurred.” When checking the bank’s official website, the user reported finding no immediate information regarding the service disruption, prompting questions about the root cause of the issue. In response, the portal Lrytas reached out to a representative from swedbank, Petras Ling.
Ling confirmed that temporary connectivity problems can arise when users attempt to authenticate using biometric data or PIN codes through the bank’s mobile application or internet banking portal. He clarified that customers are advised to use alternative means of access, such as SMART-ID, Mobile-ID, or a physical PIN generator, to complete transactions in the interim. Ling stated that the bank is actively working to resolve the underlying technical issue as quickly as possible and offered an apology for the inconvenience.
The representative confirmed that the institution is aware of the service difficulties and is taking measures to restore full functionality. The bank did not provide specific details regarding what caused the initial system failure, only confirming that temporary connectivity issues are the current explanation for the failed transactions.
