wtf
dont say that
not unless you have any actually any reason to.

They do know there is a problem and IT are working on it as a priority
yeh yeh I know blah blah but at least they know.

[Dassets]

I have not received any comms re IT issues. Has anyone?

[peat]

yeh I did call their 0800 and dialled through to someone as if I wanted to place an order. He said IT were working on it

[bull....]

they might be caught up in the gme stuff? another similar outfit have made announcements to do with gme

[peat]

my phone app is saying scheduled maintenance!

[Dassets]

You do not schedule maintenance for a live trading period ever

[peat]

yes I know
but it is only NZ hahah.

[peat]

apparently it was a weekend release..... should be fixed shortly.

Spoke to a guy at CMC. I am pretty comfortable it is an IT issue, cyber attack is possible I suppose also.

[Dassets]

I have logged in.

Free article ostensibly on the Gamestop shenannigans BUT

Once again CMC shows that it provides a very useful service where other brokers let you down.
