Lloyds and Halifax online banking went down AGAIN leaving customers locked out of accounts for second day in a row
The bank said it was "having issues with internet banking", which are now fixed
LLOYDS Banking Group customers were unable to login to their online bank accounts for the SECOND day in a row.
The group, which includes Bank of Scotland, Halifax, and Lloyds Bank, tweeted this morning to say it was "having issues".
It comes as only yesterday an outage saw users unable to access their internet and app banking during the morning.
But as of this afternoon, Lloyds Banking Group says the problems are resolved.
A spokesperson said: “We're sorry that some of our customers had issues with internet banking this morning and can confirm that services are now back to normal.”
One fed-up customer tweeted today: "It's not just online, the whole system is down, I went to deposit money into my account at a branch and told systems are down! Better be working by tomorrow."
While another said: "What again? Was like that yesterday. Get it sorted and spend money on the problem instead of crap adverts".
And one frustrated customer added: "It's happening on a monthly basis, all I want to do is use my account and pay for things!"
MPs on the Treasury Committee have launched a probe into banking outages after a string of meltdowns at high street banks have left customers without access to their cash.
The inquiry will look at the common causes of IT failures, the ways consumers lose out, and whether regulators such as the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority have the ability to hold the relevant people to account.
