The bank said it was "working to fix" the problems.

Telephone banking is also impacted, but card transactions and ATM withdrawals still work, the bank said. Issues with the Barclays app and online banking have been resolved, it added in an update on X, formerly Twitter.


Dozens of account holders spoke on social media of problems logging onto the Barclays app as well as the bank's online banking service earlier in the week.

One business customer voiced their concern on social media, saying the issue was "not a joke or glitch; this is people's lives." They added: "We need to make emergency plans if our money is inaccessible or gone."
