Lloyds and Halifax banks have been hit by service outages this Monday morning, after Barclays customers saw major problems over the weekend.
Customers of both companies – which are both part of the Lloyds Banking Group – reported issues with their banking apps, with users claiming they have had issues making and receiving payments.
A major outage hit Barclays on Friday and carried into the weekend, which the bank said was a ‘technology issue’ and left many customers unable to access funds or make payments.
According to service monitoring website Downdetector, issues for Lloyds and Halifax started at around 7am, with several hundred people reporting problems.
Lloyds has not issued statement confirming the cause of the problem, but banks have replied to customers raising concerns on social media.
In response to one customer on X, Lloyds said: ‘We know some customers are having issues making or receiving payments. We’re sorry for this and are working to have everything back to normal.’
One customer wrote to them: ‘@LloydsBank we are now massively overdrawn as payments have gone out but all our standing orders paying money in haven’t gone arrived – assume you aren’t going to charge us penalties for this when it’s your system that is broken?!!’
Halifax posted an identical reply to customers who made direct complaints to its official account on social media.
