IOB NZ Outage Hits Kiwi SMEs
IOB NZ went down today. Your sales may have stopped.

The Problem for NZ Firms
IOB NZ hosts your sales data. When it fails, sales stop.

What This Means
Your firm can’t sell or bill. Cash flow stops fast.
It’s like your shop door locks. No one can enter.
Why Kiwis Should Care
NZ firms use IOB daily. We all trust it too much.
Wellington shops had no backup. They closed early today.
The Fix
Keep a backup plan ready. You can switch fast when needed.
It’s like having spare keys. You don’t get locked out.
What To Do Now
