Over the past few days, customers of major high-street banks have faced serious disruptions due to online banking outages.
- Barclays users have struggled with issues since Friday, with problems persisting over the weekend.
- Lloyds and Halifax customers have also reported difficulties.
- Santander, NatWest, and Bank of Scotland apps are experiencing outages, according to DownDetector.
Hundreds of customers have been unable to access their accounts, leaving many worried about missing payments and wages. With bills due today, the inability to transfer funds could have serious consequences.
Frustrated users have taken to social media, voicing concerns over the stress, inconvenience, and financial impact of the outage.
Are you due compensation?
While banks are not obligated to offer compensation for outages, affected customers may receive reimbursement for any fees or charges incurred due to the disruption.
To pursue this, it’s essential to provide evidence of the negative impact and file complaints directly with the bank.
If unresolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service can offer further assistance.
