Update 11/01/18: Everything is now back to normal.
Barclays is currently suffering from a major systems outage affecting back end operations. The website and mobile application have been unresponsive with a static page being put up stating ‘Our website is currently unavailable and we are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please check again later.’ In addition when trying to get through the phone systems after going through the menu selection an error message is repeated saying to call back later.
It isn’t clear when everything will be operational again, with Barclays stating that they have teams working 24/7 to resolve the unnamed issues. Some users have been concerned about what’s causing the downtime, in tweets the @AskBCUS team has clearly stated that this is a connectivity issue rather than a computer intrusion so there is some comforting news there.
