NatWest banking app down leaving customers locked out of accounts

Customers have been left unable to access their accounts or make payments after the NatWest banking app crashed on Tuesday morning.

The outage, which began at around 8am, has affected customers across the UK.

NatWest has apologised for the inconvenience and said it is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

In a statement, the bank said: "We are aware of an issue with our mobile banking app which is currently affecting some customers.

"We are working hard to resolve the issue and we apologise for any inconvenience this may be causing.

"Customers can still access their accounts online or via telephone banking."

The outage comes just days after TSB customers were locked out of their accounts for several hours due to a technical glitch.

That outage was eventually resolved, but it is not yet known when the NatWest app will be back up and running.

Customers who are unable to access their accounts or make payments are advised to contact NatWest customer service.

The bank's customer service number is 03457 888 444.

NatWest is one of the largest banks in the UK, with over 20 million customers.

The bank's mobile banking app is used by millions of customers to manage their finances on the go.

The outage is likely to cause significant disruption for customers, particularly those who rely on the app to make payments or access their accounts.

NatWest has not yet said when the app is likely to be back up and running.

However, the bank has said that customers can still access their accounts online or via telephone banking.

Customers who are unable to access their accounts or make payments are advised to contact NatWest customer service.
