The most the public received in terms of an explanation from the financial service provider was that “technical difficulties” prompted the aforementioned problems.
However, in a matter of hours, Discover put out another statement, confirming that all was well again and customers should be able to access their cards and accounts properly.
Better luck next time
In this day and age, it’s vital for Americans to be able to use their funds or credit lines. Many people are in tight financial positions these days, amid rising inflation and growing expenses associated with living.
Going hours without access to one’s accounts can mean the difference between paying a bill on time or being late. It can also interfere with transactions that someone may need to make immediately.
One can only hope that Discover will not just get to the bottom of what happened, but also prevent any future repeats. During the midst of the delay, many Americans took to social media to express frustrations with not being able to instantly access their accounts.
