Nordea in Finland is known for having slight issues several times a year, and they usually end rather quickly.

Yesterday, 2022-03-01 at roughly 09:00 UTC, I was completely blocked from accessing my bank account. Eight hours later, at roughly 17:00 UTC, it took me several attempts, each loading for over a minute, until I gained access to my account. "Normal" issues fail immediately, so this time felt completely different.

The YLE news article stated that this was indeed a DoS attack, and I think it's been years since a Finnish bank was targeted.
