Lloyds and Barclays Bank Customers Experience Service Outages
Both banks apologize for disruptions in service affecting payments and balances over the weekend.
British banks Lloyds and Barclays experienced service outages over the weekend, impacting thousands of customers.
Barclays reported over 600 customer complaints by Sunday morning, including issues with failed payments and incorrect balance displays.
The bank confirmed that the technical issue had been resolved, and delayed payments were processed.
Barclays assured customers that no one would suffer financial loss due to the disruptions.
Similarly, Lloyds Banking Group reported difficulties for some customers in making or receiving payments, with over 400 complaints logged on outage tracking site Downdetector.
Both banks are working to restore normal service.
The Bank of England declined to comment on the incidents, though regulators are routinely notified about such disruptions.
The outages reflect ongoing challenges faced by UK banks as they transition to digital banking services, which have led to increased service interruptions in recent years.
