July 19 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) said it is
working to restore service to automated teller machines (ATMs)
affected by a global digital outage while a majority of its ATMs
are operating normally, according to an emailed statement on
Friday.
The largest U.S. bank declined to comment on how many of its
ATMs were offline. It has 16,000 ATMs across the U.S. and 4,800
branches.
Financial firms were among many snarled by a global digital
outage on Friday that caused hourslong disruptions to computer
systems at hundreds of companies.
Bank teller stations were not working at at least two
JPMorgan ( JPM ) branches in New York, according to employees at
different locations who declined to be identified discussing the
outage. Both employees said they were unsure when their
computers would be restored.
Branches have remained open, and at the sites affected by
the outages, customers were able to access banking services by
making manual transactions with tellers or using ATMs, a source
familiar with the situation said.
