Barclays online and mobile banking services are currently down and people are panicking.

Hundreds of people took to Twitter this morning to say that they had been 'locked out of their accounts'.

Barclays has acknowledged that there is a problem and they are trying to fix it as quickly as possible.

A spokeswoman for Barclays said: "We're currently experiencing some technical problems - customers are still able to use Barclays mobile banking app to check their balance, make and receive payments."

The banks telephones and online services are completely down and some branches of Barclays are also seeing issues.

The latest banking problems follow TSB's huge IT meltdown earlier this year, following a botched IT switch which saw customers locked out of their accounts.
