Lloyds bank not working: How long will it be down? Why is it not working?

Customers with Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland have been unable to check their bank accounts this morning both online and via the dedicated apps. Issues look to have started at around 6.30am this morning, with fury across both Twitter and dedicated fault website Down Detector.

Users who try to log into Lloyds on the app are met with a red error message which reads: "Sorry we can't show you some of the account information you've asked for right now. Please try later."

All of the accounts - whether savings or current - then don't show funds, just N/A.

When customers try and click on their accounts another error message reads: "Sorry we're having technical problems. This might be fixed by trying to log in again now. If not, please try again later."

Customers have reported the same message after closing the app and trying to log in again.

Halifax has responded to some complainants on Twitter writing: "We know some of you are having issues with Internet Banking. We're sorry for this. We're working to have it back to normal soon."

Express.co.uk will update this page when more information is available.

The problem seems to be affecting much of the UK, with customers venting frustration on Down Detector.

One customer named Kasoa said: "Can LLoyds bank let us know what is going on?"

Another commenter called Kg said: "All my accounts show empty, currents, credit and savings, sort this out Lloyd's.

"Time to change banks I think this has been going on for days now."

Customers with the Bank of Scotland saw issues arise at around 7.30am, again unable to access their bank balance with N/A being shown.

According to the Daily Record, those in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh have been worst hit.

Halifax customers began experiencing problems at around 8am today, with around 1,356 people reporting issues.

Customers are desperate for the issues to be fixed, with some unable to top up essential utilities like gas and electricity.

Writing on Down Detector one user named Lucy wrote: "My banking also isn't showing a balance just n/a I've to got kids and need gas/electric too. Sick of this."

Another named Tracey Shearer said: "I can't see my current account or even top up my gas & electric for goodness sake! I hope this is sorted fast!!"
