Overview

• Outage tracking site DownDetector recorded more than 600 reports as the disruption continued this morning.
• Users say in‑store payments are being declined and some apps are showing their bank cards as missing.
• Customer accounts indicate card, contactless and bank transfer services are affected.
• Several customers report being unable to withdraw cash, leaving them without access to funds for planned purchases.
• The incident comes after repeated UK banking IT failures, and Barclays was ordered earlier this year to compensate customers for prior outages.
