As it became known, Saturday, a systems glitch injured Barclays’ customers. So the majority of bank’s clients were left unable to access their accounts online or use cash machines.
The Barclays’ computer systems failed early on Saturday hitting Internet and telephone banking customers as well as ATMs. However, the bank representatives claim point of sale transactions were not affected.
As the bank confirms, the problem was resolved "early" that afternoon. However, some sources reported customers were still having trouble accessing online accounts as late as 7.15 pm.
