Customers of the Lloyds banking group have been reporting outages with their services this morning.
Reports began appearing on Down Detector for Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and Halifax at around 11am.
Down Detector is a website used to report online outages and has seen all three take a sharp turn upwards as customers report issues.
On Twitter, the banks have been responding to customers sharing their queries.
One customer wrote: “Is there an issue with the app today? All my Payees have disappeared.”
Are Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland down?
Halifax confirmed knowledge of the outage and assured it is being worked on.
We know some of our customers are having problems logging onto Internet and Mobile Banking at the moment. We're sorry for this and we're working to have it back to normal soon.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
