| Quote: | Barclays customer accounts hit by computer glitch
Barclays branch sign Barclays is still investigating what caused its system to freeze on Saturday
Thousands of Barclays customers were unable to access their bank accounts or withdraw money from cash machines on Saturday due to a computer glitch.
The bank's system froze up around 2pm, causing customers to abandon purchases at the tills during one of the busiest shopping times of the week.
The nationwide seizure also hit telephone and online banking services.
Barclays' telephone banking centres were inundated with customer complaints.
A Barclays spokeswoman was unable to elaborate on the cause of the problems. |
It's hard to believe that Barclays has a "single point of failure" in its computer systems!It would have to be a deliberate design to stop all transactions for some purpose...  |
