More than 1,100 complaints have now been logged on the site, with customers reporting that they are unable to access their mobile banking app.

Digital bank Monzo confirmed a technical issue that disrupted some card payments and bank transfers earlier today.

In a statement to LBC, Monzo said customers can now make bank transfers, card payments, and ATM withdrawals as normal.

The bank explained that it temporarily switched to its backup systems to ensure customers could continue making payments while the issue was resolved.

Monzo stated that the majority of customers have now been transitioned back to their normal systems and can use the app as usual.

Frustrated customers have taken to X (formally Twitter) to complain about the outage.

Monzo is aware of the issue and replied to a confused customer on X with an apology, writing: "We're sorry about the trouble here.

Our team are working super hard to get the issue resolved, we really appreciate your patience in the meantime."
