Bank apologises for online woes
The bank, which has been phasing in an upgrade to its website since January, said it had been experiencing above-average traffic during the final days before the new tax year.
The problems started at around 7:30am and Barclays was “working hard” to rectify them as soon as possible, a spokeswoman said.

Barclays could not give a figure for how many customers have been affected but the number is thought to have changed over the day.
