Earlier today (Friday November 26) users of Tesco Bank reported outages online for their banking services.
According to Down Detector, users were experiencing problems with online banking, mobile banking and online logins.
Comments on Down Detector pointed to all online services having a few issues.
Tesco Bank put out a statement on its Twitter to its customers addressing the issues after they were able to sort the problems out after a couple of hours.
We were having trouble with some of our services this morning. We’re pleased that everything is back up and running again. Thanks for your patience and we’re sorry if this caused any inconvenience. We’re keeping a close eye on things to make sure things keep running smoothly.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
