All of them have confirmed the country, First Direct, and LLOYDS and Halifax applications, wide -ranging applications and online banking disorders on Friday, leaving many customers who are unable to reach their salaries and salaries and bills inside and outside the accounts.
This is the second month in a row that major banks lived in the payment day at the end of the month.
According to the Service Status Downloadchector, users have reported the difficulty of logging in or making payments on different platforms. TSB also admitted “intermittent” issues, where a spokesman for “industry problems” blames and pledged to solve them quickly.
A national spokesman admitted that “some of the incoming and issued payments are delayed”, although permanent requests and direct religion continued to work normally. The first to say that the mobile and the Internet banking was “facing problems with payments”, with the problem corrected later.
Lloyds and Halifax chanted these phrases, and they apologized for the inconvenience and promises to restore regular service as soon as possible. “Some customers face problems with online banking services and our applications.”
The latest failures follow a similar interruption in Barclays, Lloyds and Halifax Bank at the end of January and the beginning of February, which also coincided with the peak of monthly salaries.
Industry experts suggest that pressure on banking systems on the day of payment leaves them at risk. Keith Boden, the administrative director of Ensurety, warned that continuous failures are “more than just disturbing noise, it's now a payment hole that needs repair.” He suggested that banks must quickly upgrade systems or address potential cyber security attacks.
Chris Skinner, a specialist in high -tech, has argued that “the world is taking place very quickly with technology” so that both organizers and banks are struggling to keep up with it. He pointed out that the frequent interruption of Friday's interruption may be due to the updates of the bank schedule for the most quieter weekend, which makes it more vulnerable to errors in peak salaries.
With many customers being imprisoned for their wages and increasing interests on banking infrastructure, calls are escalated for more hard -line supervision and improving flexibility and fastest technical investments throughout the industry.
