Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland app users report outage

Thousands of customers using online banking services from Lloyds Banking Group experienced an outage on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. Users began reporting problems accessing their accounts around 11:15 AM BST, according to outage tracker Downdetector.

The disruption impacted customers of multiple brands under the Lloyds Banking Group umbrella, including Lloyds Bank, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland. The group is recognized as the United Kingdom's largest retail and commercial banking provider, serving approximately 26 million customers.

Lloyds Banking Group has been contacted for comment regarding the widespread technical difficulties. The incident occurred several months after a significant IT glitch in March, which led to the exposure of other customers' transactions and personal data for nearly half a million users.

The recurrence of such issues raises concerns about the reliability of the banking group's digital infrastructure, particularly given its large customer base and the critical nature of online banking services.
