So I’m trying to sign into my bank account (Bank of America), as I do regularly. When it asks for my sitekey, I enter it, press enter, and then get brought back to the front page of the Bank of America site with the phrase “Sign-off successful, thank you” to greet me.

Anybody else having this problem? Ideas?

Yup, I’ve got the same problem. Must be a problem with their system.

I’m having the exact same problem as well. It might be a problem with the site in general. It might depend on location (which explains why Foggy can sign it but we can’t). Anyways I’m about to call BoA technical right now.

Well, it’s working for me now but it hasn’t even recorded any of my transactions from the last four days. Odd…

Lots of banking sites do maintenance on Sundays. My Chase banking site was down most of yesterday, as well.

Did you ever get this resolved/how did you resolve it? I just started having the same problem 2 weeks ago.

It seems the BoA online banking problems [have a long history](http://sitedown.co/bank-of-america).
