Online banking problems across the UK

TSB online banking now has a long and repetitive history of outages. It has suffered months of outages after it attempted to upgrade its back-end technology. It was planning to move from the old Lloyds system to the one of its new owner, the Spain-based Sabadell.

Three executives are leaving the bank following the upgrade. However, it was said that their departures were planned before the outages.

April 2018 saw the first outage and data breach. Customers were able to see others’ bank details. One customer reported that he could view other customer’s accounts, totalling more than £20,000 ($28,000). One customer even had £13,000 wrongly credited to his account.

This was followed by another outage in July. And another in September.

However, TSB is not the only bank to suffer recent issues. Barclays online, telephone, and mobile banking was down earlier this month.

In addition, NatWest customers suffered a similar fate.
