Customers have had to deal with in total 142 days of system failure, of which 18 were large-scale, RTL Nieuws reports. An analysis from Allestoringen.nl, which records disruptions throughout the country, ING had 20 days in September alone in which their internet banking systems have experienced malfunctions.
