While the likely duration of the delays remains unclear, such IT problems with banks do occur from time to time and do not generally take long to resolve.

The bank has also been responding to nervous customers on social media, stressing that payments can go through at any time.

“We are looking in to this at the moment. As soon as we have an update we will be in touch,” their digital team has said on Twitter.

“Please be assured that payments can process on an account anytime through the day.”
