Lloyds Banking Group is investigating a significant technical glitch that permitted customers to view transactions belonging to other users online. The incident, which occurred briefly on Thursday morning, has been resolved, according to a bank spokesperson. This latest issue adds to a growing list of technical disruptions affecting UK financial institutions as they increasingly rely on digital platforms.
Lawmakers have previously highlighted the prevalence of such outages, with reports indicating hundreds of hours of unplanned system downtime across major UK banks in recent years, impacting millions of customers' access to their funds.
