The bank apologized to customers on its social media platforms but service had still not been restored by Friday afternoon.

According to a tweet, Wells Fargo attributed the outage to a "power shutdown at one of our facilities, initiated after smoke was detected following routine maintenance."

In another tweet, Wells Fargo said the glitch was not caused by "any cybersecurity event."

A similar issue to the bank's online services occurred Feb. 1, with Wells Fargo blaming "system issues," the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
