BREAKING NEWS Online banking app goes DOWN leaving thousands unable to access money
Arvest Bank has been hit by a major outage, leaving customers unable to access online accounts. The financial institution services more than 800,000 Americans in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. Arvest has acknowledged the outage on X, saying: 'Customers are currently experiencing issues logging in to online and mobile banking. 'Our teams are aware and are actively working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. 'In addition to the login issues, our nightly processing is currently delayed.' Customers have also shared their frustrations online, stating they cannot pay bills or make purchases due to the app not working. 'I can't make my car payment, and if it's late, it's y'all's fault, and y'all are paying. I'm tired of this,' a user posted on X. Another frustrated customer highlighted how this is the fourth outage in 2025 and threatened to switch banks. Arvest is headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas and is the oldest bank in the state and one of the largest in the US. Downdetector, a site that monitors online outages, shows issues hit the bank around 3am ET and has since continued as more Americans are starting their day and checking the online banking app. Approximately 60 percent of reported problems to Downdetector cited mobile login, 26 percent for online banking and 14 percent cited online login. App users are receiving error messages that their login ID is incorrect even though they said it is not.

The big picture: One recent USDA report pegged Arkansas' average food insecurity rate at 18.9% during 2021-2023, the highest in the nation. That's nearly one out of every five people. Food prices will likely continue to climb in the foreseeable future and proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program could exacerbate the issue, experts say. By the numbers: NWA generally performs better than the rest of the state on this metric, but the food insecurity rate in Benton County was still 13.5% in 2022, according to Feeding America. It was 17% in Washington County. Driving the news: I was reminded that Arvest's annual Million Meals kicks off this week, the bank's largest visible corporate philanthropic effort. Charities and food banks get a lot of attention during the Holidays, but often are overlooked the rest of the year. The good news: Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently signed a law guaranteeing breakfast to all students regardless of their families' income starting this fall. Between the lines: That was the education part. If you made it this far, here's a call to action:
