Is TSB down? Bank issues update
Some TSB customers took to Twitter/X to share that they were having trouble with the app this morning.
One customer said: "The app saying 'you don’t have any accounts to access' is a bit scary first thing in the morning.."
Another added: "This is getting to be a habit with this bank going to go elsewhere."
At 8.33am, TSB took to X to issue an apology and update with customers, sharing: "We're sorry that some of our customers are facing problems accessing our services this morning. Our teams are working to resolve this."
What is Downdetector?
Downdetector is an online website that allows users of popular services including X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, Virgin Media 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.”
We're sorry that some of our customers are facing problems accessing our services this morning. Our teams are working to resolve this.

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.
