Customers of several major UK high street banks faced disruptions to digital banking services on Monday, with widespread reports of difficulties completing online transfers and payments.
A portion of users also reported broader access challenges with mobile apps and online banking portals, while a smaller number mentioned complications at cash machines.
Barclays users reported parallel difficulties, particularly with incoming external payments failing to show up promptly or with challenges sending funds.
Service status updates from Barclays at one point noted awareness of issues affecting the receipt of external payments and indicated that work was underway to address them.
Such incidents highlight the heavy reliance many people place on seamless digital banking for routine financial activity.
