Sites of major UK banks including Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds crash: Report

Customers of UK’s biggest banking sites like Barclays, Bank of Scotland, and Halifax have reported being locked out of their accounts this morning.

Issues have been reported at other banks too including Lloyds, HSBC, Santander, Nationwide, NatWest, Monzo and Yorkshire Bank. Customers are complaining that they are unable to transfer funds, or access online banking or mobile banking apps.

According to the Mirror reports, reports of problems came flooding in at around 6am today when many customers tried accessing their accounts online. Some of the customers have reported their problems on social media too.

One Santander customer said, "I can't get through to Santander - where's my money gone?" Meanwhile, a NatWest customer said, "Are there issues with the app? Transferred money at 7am for food shopping, and it still hasn’t arrived in my account."

Some of the banks are apparently working on fixing their online services currently. Santander's customer service account replied to one user on Twitter, saying: "Hi there, sorry to hear about this. We’re currently experiencing issues with making and receiving Faster Payments. We're very sorry for the inconvenience this is causing and we’re working hard to fix the problem. Other payment services are unaffected."
