Barclays is once again facing technical issues with its online banking services, leaving thousands of customers unable to transfer funds or make payments. The problems began at approximately 7am GMT, as reported by the Down Detector website, which tracks outages and displays a sharp spike in reports of Barclays-related issues.
The bank’s service status acknowledges the issue, stating that some customers are experiencing difficulties with making or receiving payments, while assuring that efforts are being made to rectify the situation.
This unfortunate incident marks the second significant outage for Barclays within a short period. Earlier this month, the financial institution faced technical troubles with its online services, resulting in a three-day disruption. The timing of the previous outage coincided with a critical income tax deadline in the UK, leaving many customers unable to fulfill their payment obligations.
According to an FAQ on Barclays’ official website, the January incident was attributed to a technical issue rather than a cyber-attack or malicious activity.
As this is a breaking news story, further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
