Citigroup Inc said on Friday it resolved a technical issue that had left customers unable to access their accounts remotely.

Customers had taken to social media to complain about the major outage.

“We experienced a brief technical issue that is now resolved,” Citigroup’s customer service Twitter account said in response.

Bloomberg reported the news of the outage first.

A Bloomberg reporter spoke with four people at a bank branch on Manhattan’s Upper East Side who said debit cards did not work at the ATM there. (bloom.bg/296tSVr)

Citigroup was not immediately available for further comment.
