The incident happened when the bank is returning to normalcy following a failed attempt to transfer data to a new IT system.

During the attempt, thousands of TSB customers were reported to have been locked out of their accounts for more than a week.

Last month, a committee comprising parliament members met the TSB board regarding the removal of the bank’s chief executive Paul Pester.

In April, TSB parent company Banco Sabadell announced to have registered a net profit of €253.9m in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, a jump of 32.9% from the previous year’s same period.

The impact of the botched up upgrade is expected in the first-half results, scheduled to be published later this month.
