Troubleshooting

How to fix Scotiabank not working

Scotiabank is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach scotiabank.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Reload the Scotiabank page or app
If a sign-in screen hangs, refresh the browser tab or pull down on the page in a phone browser; on the app, close it from the app switcher and open it again. That clears a stuck view before you change any settings.
Turn off VPN for Scotiabank
A VPN or a custom private DNS can break the bank's sign-in flow while other sites still load. On Android, open Settings > Network & internet > Private DNS and choose Off; on iPhone, open Settings > General > VPN & Device Management > VPN and turn it off, then retry the app.
Clear Scotiabank site data in your browser
In Chrome on desktop, click the lock icon beside the address bar, open Cookies and site data, choose Manage cookies and site data, and remove the bank's entry before you reload. On Safari for iPhone, open Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data, then find the bank's entry and delete it.
Update or reinstall the Scotiabank app
If the app crashes or sits on a blank screen, tap your profile icon in the App Store and pull down to refresh Available Updates; in Google Play, tap your profile icon and open Manage apps & device > Updates available. If no update helps, delete the app, restart your phone, reinstall it from the same store, and sign in again.

While Scotiabank is down: what to use instead

Online banking Open a browser and sign in to the same account when the mobile app stalls, because you may still check balances or move money.
Debit card Pay in store or use an ATM if the app stalls.
Credit card Use the card for purchases and call the number on the back if a payment is declined while the app is down.
Telephone banking Call when the app and site stall.

Same time

Problems at the same time as Scotiabank

Since 28 October, all 5 of Scotiabank's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

About

What happens when Scotiabank goes down

Scotiabank is a Canadian bank whose mobile app and online banking people use for balances, transfers, bill payments, and card activity; small businesses rely on the same tools for daily banking. If the service has problems, you can lose access to those tasks, and the status at the top of each page shows whether user problem reports are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours.

The first sign is often the app failing to sign you in. The accounts screen may spin, transfers and bill payments can sit as pending or fail at the confirm step, and card purchases may be declined when the bank cannot approve them. Problems are often partial: one feature can fail while another still works. An outage can hit a region or a single channel rather than every customer at once.

Questions

Scotiabank FAQ

Is Scotiabank down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. This site does not ping or probe the service, so the number reflects reports only. To see if the problem is on your side, try the app or site on another network, then on another device; if it fails on both attempts while other sites load, the service is the likely cause.

Why does the Scotiabank app show a blank screen after I log in?

A blank screen after sign-in usually points to the app or your session. Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data and sign in again on a second device to see if the blank page follows you. If the same screen appears on both networks, wait a few minutes and try once more before you contact support.

Can I use Scotiabank online banking when the mobile app is down?

The website and the app are separate ways into your account, so one can work while the other fails. If the app will not load, open online banking in a browser on the same network and try a balance check or bill payment there. A working browser session points to an app issue, while both failing points to a wider service problem.

Why does my Scotiabank e-Transfer stay pending?

A pending Interac e-Transfer often waits on the recipient to deposit it, and some transfers need a security answer before the money moves. Open the transfer details to see if the status asks for a deposit or a contact change, then ask the recipient to check their email or mobile number. If the status does not change after the recipient acts, keep the reference number and contact the bank.

Why does Scotiabank keep asking me to verify my identity on a new phone?

A new phone has a different device fingerprint, so the app may ask you to confirm your identity before it shows balances or lets you move money. Complete the in-app prompt on the new device and keep the old phone nearby if you still have it, since some checks send a code to the trusted device. If the prompt loops, sign out, restart the phone, remove the app, and reinstall it from the official app store before you retry.

How we track Scotiabank

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Scotiabank, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Scotiabank, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Scotiabank doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
