Lloyds has been the worst hit by today’s mobile banking problems, according to Downdector at least – there were over 3,600 reports at 8.20am GMT, although this has since plummeted fortunately.

When trying to log into the app, some of the TechRadar team went from a generic error message to an apology message to a spinning wheel. Lloyds acknowledged the continued issues with the post on X (formerly Twitter) below at 9.37am GMT.

Not a great morning for banking apps…
