Customers of three major British banks are reporting problems with accessing their accounts and making transfers.
Downdetector data suggests hundreds of reports of problems with the high street giants Halifax, Lloyds and Barclays all beginning at about midday.
One individual reported an error message when trying to send funds from a Lloyd’s credit card from a current account with helplines jammed.
One customer posted: ‘Is anyone else having any issues with Lloyds? I can’t get money from the ATM nor make any bank transfers to pay etc.
‘My partner is also having the same issues with her Lloyds account. Their helpline has a 40-minute delay – so something is definitely not right.’

A Lloyds representative replied: ‘We’re investigating an issue affecting Faster Payments, which may cause delays. If you’ve already made a payment, please don’t send it again. Check it has gone through first to avoid duplicate payments.’
Another user who experienced payment issues with Halifax, wrote: ‘What is going on? I tried to transfer some money and it kept saying error unable to complete, I tried a few times and got the same message, now it’s done multiple transfers?’
A representative from Halifax replied to the user to fix the issue.
