NatWest customers have been left red-faced this morning after the banks online and mobile banking was taken offline by a major outage.
The issue was first reported around 5.30am and affected thousands of customers across the UK and abroad.
NatWest has apologized for the disruption and said that the problem has now been resolved.
The outage, which lasted for around two hours, prevented customers from logging into their accounts, checking their balances, or making payments.
Some customers were also unable to use their debit cards or withdraw money from ATMs.
NatWest has said that it is investigating the cause of the outage and will provide an update as soon as possible.
Conclusion
The NatWest outage is a reminder that even the biggest banks are not immune to technical problems.
It is important to have a backup plan in place in case your bank's systems are unavailable.
You could consider keeping a small amount of cash at home or having a credit card that you can use in emergencies.
