Faster Payments Down

Anthorn

3 banks are up for me. At 1240 to 1247 I transferred by FP between my own accounts from Triodos to Lloyds and between my own account and my son's account from Lloyds to Starling. All of the Fps have gone through and are in the accounts.

Lloyds Banking Group confirms borkage affecting 'Faster Payments'
Customers are unable to make payments or transfer money

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP'S online services have taken a trip to Borksville, with customers unable to make payments or transfer money.

DownDetector shows that issues first began early this 7 am morning, with the number of reported issues increasing steadily since. The problems are affecting Lloyds Bank, Halifax and Bank of Scotland customers.

The borkage, which is affecting us here at INQ, sees the firm's online and mobile banking services throw up an error message when a payment or transfer is attempted, with the banks advising customers to "check back in two hours".

There are also some reports that customers are also experiencing issues withdrawing moolah from cashpoints.

....

n a statement given to INQ, a Lloyds Banking Group spokesperson confirmed that the issue is affecting 'Faster Payments', but it's not yet clear when the problem will be resolved.

"We are aware that some of our customers are experiencing problems with making Faster Payments," the spokesperson said.

"We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We would like to assure customers they will not be out of pocket as a result of this issue, and apologise for any inconvenience caused."

We'll update this article as we hear more.

I wouldn't speak too soon; mine isn't!! :undecided

Can I be bothered to ring up and waste my time answering a lot of security questions before I even get anywhere near someone, who probably hasn't got the faintest idea what they're doing anyway?........No!

So if it's just Lloyds Group then Halifax, RBS, Barclays should also be down ?

Barclays and RBS* are not part of Lloyds Banking Group so there is no reason to assume that they would be affected.

* Bank Of Scotland is part of the group but not Royal Bank Of Scotland.
