Customers took to Twitter to complain that the HSBC app had gone down – some said they were unable to pay for their shopping as their card was declined.
HSBC apologised for “those impacted for the inconvenience” and said it was “working hard to fix this”.
It added: “We understand that some customers aren’t able to access banking services as usual at the moment.
“We’re investigating, and ask that you please try again in a bit.
“We’ll share an update as soon as possible.”
