\"Lloyds\t\tLloyds suffered a tech outage.\t<\/p>\n

Lloyds Banking Group has been rocked with another outage as thousands of customers report issues with their online<\/a> services.<\/p>\n

The financial services giant<\/a> was flagged with a spike on the online outage tracker Downdetector at around 11:15am on Wednesday as users reported issues.<\/p>\n

Across the group \u2013 which includes Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland \u2013 it serves around 26m customers in the UK.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the banks said: \u201c\u201cWe\u2019re aware some customers are having issues with our app and online banking. We\u2019re really sorry about this and we\u2019re working hard to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Multiple users on social media reported issues when trying to transfer money and also said they were unable to access online banking on their app or website.<\/p>\n

\t\tLloyds Banking Group customers left \u2018stranded\u2019<\/p>\n

One affected customer<\/a> shared a notice on X from the Halifax app that said the bank was having \u201ctechnical problems\u201d. The user added it had left them \u201cstranded\u201d as they had \u201cbills to pay now\u201d.<\/p>\n

It follows the firm being hit with a major tech blunder earlier this year as users logged on to see rogue transactions<\/a> that did not belong to them. Customers reported seeing national insurance numbers and benefit payments that were not theirs. <\/p>\n

Lloyds later confirmed this specific incident had affected up to 447,936 customers. The bank has made payouts of more than \u00a3200,000 in so-called \u201cgoodwill\u201d payments.<\/p>\n

A Treasury Committee report last March revealed nine of the\u00a0UK\u2019s biggest banks and building societies were down for over 803 hours<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 the equivalent of 33 days \u2013 over the last two years.<\/p>\n

Barclays topped the list for most outages at 33, but had been able to reduce the length to 93 hours, shorter than some rivals.<\/p>\n

HSBC was close behind Barclays with 32 incidents, but nearly double the amount of hours, shooting up to 176.<\/p>\n
