Barclays online banking goes down again

As Barclays online banking services were mainly unavailable this morning, several customers emailed The Register to complain that, once again, they could not access their accounts. A spokeswoman for Barclays confirmed there was a problem and promised to learn what it was.

Either the bank has been plagued with problems or a disproportionate number of Reg readers use the bank's online services.

Besides, the service went down in July, when it launched a new version of the site and associated marketing push. At that time it lost its ATM network and watched its website crash twice.

In addition, it had similar problems in October of last year.
