The security of accounts or data was never affected. There had previously been media reports on the IT problems at Postbank.

"We would like to apologize to affected customers," said the spokesman. "Our IT is working flat out to fix these restrictions as quickly as possible." "Thanks to the technical measures recently introduced, a noticeable improvement in accessibility and performance" is expected in the course of Friday. Postbank did not provide any information on the exact causes.

On Twitter, the institute had already asked customers for “a little patience” in view of the restrictions on Wednesday and referred to the possibility of placing orders by telephone as an alternative.

After some back and forth, Deutsche Bank decided in spring 2017 not to sell Postbank after all, but to integrate it into its private and corporate customer business. The legal integration was completed in mid-May 2020: DB Privat- und Firmenkundenbank AG, founded in May 2018, was merged into Deutsche Bank AG. (dpa/sap)
