A statement from Lloyds said: “We are currently aware that some customers may be experiencing intermittent issues when trying to access their online banking service this morning. We are working to resolve the issue as a matter of urgency and we are sorry for any inconvenience for our customers.”
The group said the issues only affected Lloyds customers, rather than the group’s Halifax and Bank of Scotland brands, and had not affected mobile logins.
