I know of a bank who's *completely* offline 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. Not only the web-banking, mind you - I said COMPLETELY. It's great when you want to use your ATM card to buy drinks. OR, when you are in a far-away time zone, and try to buy lunch.

My university had an online system that, among other things, let students schedule their courses and manage their payments online. It was offline every night at like 8 p.m., and it came back online at like 7 a.m. This was fine for those of us from the country, but when the university boasts a huge international student body, many hailing from China and India whose time is roughly the opposite of here, it meant that those poor guys had to stay up all night to register for classes.
This university also had the greatest "business hours" of all time: 9:00-11:30, 1:30-4:30, weekdays only.
My university would have similar "business hours", except that they would only open either the morning OR the afternoon, on alternate days.
