Lloyds Banking Group online services suffer New Year’s Day outage

02 Jan 2020

Customers of Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland were left unable to access their accounts on New Year’s Day after the banking group’s online services crashed.

The problems emerged at around 4am on New Year’s Day and were resolved by around 12pm.

 

 

The group has a total of 13 million online customers and around nine million app users.
