LLOYDS Bank customers have shared they have faced some issues accessing the organisation's website and app this morning (Wednesday, June 3).

Reports began to emerge on Downdetector shortly after 11.30am, with the problems being solved by the early afternoon.

A third said: "Can accept things not working sometimes but something always going wrong with my Lloyds app lol."

In a reply to one customer, Lloyds Bank shared that they were aware of the issue.

The account said: "Sorry to hear that you are facing issues with app login.

In a reply to another customer they recommended trying the following steps on the app if it wasn't working: "In the meantime please try the following steps:

"2. Restart the application or reboot your phone.

"Once you’ve completed these steps, please try to login again."

A spokesperson for Lloyds Bank said: “All our services are back up and running.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience caused, and if customers are still experiencing any issues, please leave it a few minutes and try again.”

What is Downdetector?

Downdetector is an online website that allows users of popular services, including X, Instagram, Facebook and more, to report if they are having trouble with the services.

The site only reports an incident when the number of problem reports is significantly higher than the typical volume for that time of day.

Describing itself on its website, Downdetector is “where people go when services don’t work.”

The website monitors disruptions to various key services including the internet, web hosting platforms, banks, social media and more.


You can see the full methodology and learn more about how Downdetector collects status information and detects problems via its website.

In short, users can get involved by submitting any issue reports on the platform.

Problem indicators are also collected from social media and other factors on the web, Downdetector explained.

These reports are then validated and analysed in real time.

An incident is then detected if the number of reports is significantly higher than the typical average for that particular service.

When a user goes to investigate the issue, they can see what the most reported problems are currently and check if their areas are in one of the outage hotspots.
