Thousands of UK customers have been suffering from online banking issues on Friday, and have reported problems accessing the internet and app services.
All over the country, Lloyds and Halifax have previously confirmed issues with the online banking system and said they are working to fix them.
Users also reported issues with the banking apps for TSB and Bank of Scotland. Halifax and the Bank of Scotland are part of the Lloyds Bank Group. Lloyds said its app and online banking services are currently functioning like normal for clients at Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland.
In a message on the website, Nationwide said “some of the current payments and calls are currently behind” but “everything else is working fine.”
It said that the supervisor's debit and standing orders are working as normal, but the payments are in line and arrive quickly and the customers don't have to do anything.
First, directly confirmed on its website that mobile and online banking services are “experienced with payment issues.” It has since been resolved and said the service is running normally.
According to the DownDetector website, the increase in issues reported by Lloyds customers is also increasing in Halifax operations.
Analysts said the app is working and Lloyd's customers can access it, but some have experienced issues that could delay logins.
A spokesman for the Lloyds Banking Group said: Sorry about this, but I'm working to get everything back to normal. ”
These issues stem from what payday is for many people in the UK. One user expressed concern on social media that if the issue was not resolved on Friday, they could be charged for late credit card fees. In X, they write: “Lloyd's Bank is down on payday and my credit card payment deadline is not a fun combo.”
The influential Treasury Commission failed earlier this month for the chief executives of the UK Bank, including Lloyd's, Natwest, Santander, National, Barclays and HSBC.
MPs are requesting details on the reasons for the suspension, how it affected the client, how the board responded, and how they planned to prevent future issues. Executives had sent responses as of Wednesday, and the committee was expected to be made public next week.
However, the Guardian understands that the Treasury Commission is currently assessing its options, considering the widespread banking issues on Friday.

Earlier this month, IT glitch left Barclays customers with some who were locked out of their accounts all night, almost 24 hours after their initial shutdown.
The TSB stated: “We are aware of the industry-wide issues this morning, and some customers are unable to log in to mobile apps or internet banking. We apologise for this and work hard to resolve it.”
A national spokesman said: We currently process payments that are in queue, but we ask our customers to bear it when we complete our transaction. People don't have to resend payments. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
“Customers continue to make payments faster, use their cards to pay for goods and services, access internet banks and bank apps, and withdraw cash from ATMs.”
Halifax will be contacted for comment.
