Rabobank's Australian outpost has messed up its Android app, leaving an unknown number of users unable to access their bank accounts on mobile devices.
Customers brought The Register's attention to the pile of woeful reviews for the bank's app, many featuring a complaint that it produces the error "Unable to connect please check your internet connection".
Said error is clearly incorrect as users' Android devices are indeed online with every other app!
The Register asked Rabobank what's afoot and we were told: "There was a recent issue which was caused by an expired security certificate within the bank's mobile banking app. It only affected Android users causing the 'connection error' message when customers tried to log in to their app."
"This security certificate problem has since been fixed, with a new app update released which has resolved the issue for the majority of impacted customers," we were told.
